This is my first time ever taking ceramics. For my art show I wanted to create pieces I could use at my house to eat on and serve food on for other people. I especially wanted to make plates because I thought I would get the most use out of them. To make the little plates I took 2 pound balls of clay and threw them on the wheel. To make the tray I used a 3 pound ball of clay and threw it on the wheel until it was in a flat form. I trimmed and glazed the little plates and made the pattern look like the inside of lemons. I left the tray untrimmed but added handles with two coils of clay and glazed a picture of a lemon tree on it. I am excited to continue ceramics and become stronger at throwing other forms like bowls and cups.
