My name is Maggie Turner. I am a student at Trinity Episcopal School and I am currently taking my first ceramics class, Elements of ceramics. This will be my website throughout this class. On this sight you will be able to follow my process and also follow me through all stages of my learning process.
My Inspiration
This body of work is a dinner set for a family of five. I threw five big plates, small plates, bowls, and cups. I made my set for a family of five because that is the size of my family. The set is meant to show how both a family and a set can’t be complete without every person or every piece intact. I also feel the functionality of this set adds an element of purpose and life to it. I glazed them in a cool blue tone and warm white tone to keep the set simple but yet still inviting. I dipped the set to create clean lines that make the set more uniform and clean cut. Then I used a damp sponge to blend the lines, because like families, lines can’t all be perfect.
