Artist Statement: I took elements of ceramics my 9th grade year and I switched into studio workshop at the beginning of this semester. When I was in elements, I made plates with a blue-green glaze, so I decided to improve my ability to make plates this semester. I made 6 plates 5 pounds each for a chicken and waffle party we had and I glazed them all in white. For the Spring Art Show, I made two 7-8 pound plates and three 6 pound plates and used the same white glaze to match the ones I used for the party.
