For my theme, I mixed red clay with vashon white. For the first one, I made a pitcher. It is about 5 inches tall and three inches wide. It has clear glaze to show the marbled clay. The second one is a cup. It is about 4 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide. It doesn't have a handle. It is also glazes with clear. The third is a small bowl, it is 2.5 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide. It has clear glaze, but somehow the center of the bowl filled with white. When making these projects, I mixed two types of clay for the first time. I had to scrape the sides of the projects after throwing in order to show the marbled look instead of the red slip that covered the project. The art element is color and texture. The red clay contrasts against the white clay in a way that shows movement. These pieces have a natural feeling because the red clay looks so natural and the clear glaze shows just the clay. With a lack of bright/ unnatural colors and useful pieces, they just have an organic vibe.
