Fountains

Every year in ceramics I always think about making a fountain. This year seems like it would be a perfect time to create one. The photo above is one of the fountain ideas I have been looking into. What do you like in a fountain? How would you go about creating yours?

After creating a piece of artwork made out of a circuit board and wood. I started thinking about what it all meant, whether or not nature was a thing that should be preserved or harvested. I came to the conclusion that neither one was correct; whether our civilization wants to suffer the consequences of dieing off from not using nature or we destroy nature in a selfish way to prosper. What do you think?

Family

My family project is coming along wonderfully! The piece represents my family and our conversations. The fact that we are able to discuss private matter and then are able to close up the discussion. I am going to use a metal zipper to seal the piece together. There are holes along the opening and down the center to tie the zipper onto the pot after firing. What do you think?

This is a sketch of my current project. It focus's on my family and how we talk about confidential matter, and we are open to the discussion; but once the discussion is over we close it up and the secret is safe within our family bonds. This is very important to us that we are able to be open and available for discussion. Within the project I plan on incorporating a metal zipper, which symbolizes that we are able to "zip up" our conversations.

As I was surfing the Internet looking for cool project ideas, i came across this unique design. I really enjoy the flow of the pots. My curiosity kicked in and I took a super close look at the design and it appears that it was a thrown base and a slab backing scored on. Genius right! What do you enjoy from this? Please let me know.
