These pictures show the result of the pieces that were made using the throwing technique.

The Potter’s Offspring

This piece entitled “The Potter’s Offspring” is a set of ceramic vessels made from clay.
The inspiration for this piece came from everyday surroundings. I wanted to make something
that is unique and could be used in the home as a décor and be functional at the same time.
The pieces were created using the throwing technique in which the clay was molded into the
desired shape while on the potter’s wheel as it rotates. The results of this technique were
beautiful and unique and varies in height. The name of the pieces is symbolic of the pride and
joy that parents feel when they watch their children grow. The ceramic pieces being an offspring
of the potter’s wheel which is crucial in the molding of the clay, is indicative of the molding
process of children.
The wide mouth ceramic piece (middle piece) is both decorative and functional as it can be used
for décor and holding small things like: paper clips, thumb tacks, erasers, sharpeners etc. The
smallest ceramic piece is decorative and can be placed on dressers, tables etc. while the tallest
piece is both decorative and functional and can be used as a vase.
