POTTERY 2Carved Surface Treatment ProjectSlide2
Assignment:You will construct a form such as a vase, rounded bowl, or pitcher. The form may be handbuilt
or thrown on the wheel. It must have walls of a uniform thickness adaptable to your planned surface treatment. At least 30% of the outer surface must be treated with a carved pattern of your own design. Symmetry should be carefully measured, and asymmetry must reveal successful informal balance. This should be a functional piece. Slide3
StepsStep 1. Choose a pleasing form and decide which method of construction you will use. Step 2. Sketch your planned form several times, and draw several options for a carved surface treatment. Slide4
StepsStep 3. When you have decided on a carved design, proceed with the making of your form. When the form is completed, keep it moist under a plastic bag while
you make patterns for your carving. Be sure to place the design on
the
form in a way that enhances the overall appearance of your piece.
Consider
the following when matching a pattern to a form:
Types of line – curved or straight, soft or angular
Thickness of line – all the same, repeated variation, random
Placement on the form – weight of the design vs. the form, symmetry vs. asymmetry Slide5
StepsStep 4. Use your paper pattern to visually sight the design on your form. If guidelines are needed, draw them lightly with a needle tool on the clay.
Step 5.
Keep the clay piece covered and moist until you have finished carving.Slide6
