Complex glaze makes a simple project interesting. This is a bowl that is 3.75 inches tall and 4.25 inches wide at the lip. The project is its narrowest at the bottom of the project and it becomes wider as the project gets taller. The bowl is flared at the lip. A majority of the project is glazed in cobalt and the rest is glazed in clear. The juxtaposition between the dark blue and the clear glaze make the simple form of the project
 
Three dimensional elements on a project can help to express a certain theme. This is a choice project that is 3 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide at the lip. The body is narrow at the base and widens as it gets taller. It is choked in at the top and the lip is flared so that it is almost parallel to the floor. There are clay flowers pressed into the body in clusters. The body is glazed in clear and the lip and the inside of the project are glazed with cobalt blue. I glazed the flowers with cobalt blue and then wiped some of it off to show the detail and texture of the flowers. The flowers on the project express a theme of nature.
 
Glaze has the ability to make certain elements of a project more prominent. This is a tall project that is 4 inches tall and 3.75 inches wide at the lip. The vase is narrow at the bottom and widens as the project gets taller. It is it's widest in the middle of the project and then it is chocked back in. The lip flares out at the top of the project. There is a wavy designed etched into the project with the blunt end of a stick tool. The entire project is glazed in clear and the etching is glazed in cobalt blue. The glaze is more saturated in the valleys of the project, making the design on the project stand out.
 
The way a project is glazed can give the effect of texture. This is a tall project that is 4 inches tall and 3 inches wide at the lip. At the bottom, the project has a cylindrical shape. The belly of the project widens towards the top and then it is chocked so it is narrow at the lip. The lip is not flared; rather it is vertical and sticks straight up. The inside of the project and the lip is glazed with cobalt blue and the outside of the project is painted with blue stain and then glazed in clear. I stained the project in with short, wavy lines with the stain in different saturations. The wavy design gives the appearance of texture on the project.
 
Juxtaposition allows certain elements of a project to stand out. This is a bowl that is 2.75 inches tall, 2.25 inches wide at the base, and 4.5 inches wide at the lip. The project gets wider as it gets taller and the lip is flared. The inside of the project is glazed in turquoise matte and then the entire project was glazed in clear so that it was shiny all over. The contrast between the color on the inside of the project out to the lip juxtaposes against the clear outside, making the inside color pop and stand out.
