Ceramic Houses with Attitude



The ceramic classes are pooling all they have learned on working with slabs into making houses with attitude. They created templates or patterns for their houses, putting these paper houses together before creating their final piece. Some of their houses slant, some have curved windows and doors, some are shaped as fish or train cars. But all of them have a non-traditional way of looking at living spaces. Each house is decorated with incised designs and painted with underglazes for a detailed watercolor look, or traditional glazes for a bold glassy finish.
