I created a clay box made from clay slabs. First, I rolled out my clay and cut it into six 5x5 squares. After I let these squares dry a little bit, I scored the sides and put the pieces together to create a box. After this, I used clay tools to carve designs in the clay, and then fired it for the first time. After this, I glazed the box and then fired it again. My inspiration for this idea was that when I was brainstorming, I was listening to the song "Roll Me Away" by Bob Seger. My favorite line in this song is "I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide." This inspired the compass kind of idea and then I added the birds flying different directions. The most successful part of the piece to me was the background glazing, as it came out clear and vibrant. Next time, I would spend more time putting the box together so that it does not crack in as many places. I would consider signing up for sculpture class! This was a fun project.
