This is my Wide Project. I do believe that it's the best piece I have done on the wheel to date, including last semester when I first started ceramics.

Another view of my Wide Project. It's not yet footed here, but you can see how the base pinches in from the body for a narrow base.
Pictures to come. For now, my Wide Project paragraph:
This is a bowl made on the wheel, measuring 6" wide by 2 1/2" tall. The lip is almost twice as wide as the base, which pinches sharply inwards and down to a shallow footring. This piece was glazed in Shadow Green, with an overall coat of intermediate thickness and large patches of darker color on the inside. The glaze has pooled along half of the footring, and the lip has an overall thinner coating than the rest of the bowl; very small pockmarts dot both the inside and outside surfaces.
The form and smooth texture makes this piece functional, while the variation in the glaze draws the eye.

Pictures to come; this is for my Choice Project.
This is a wheel-made bowl 2 1/4" tall by 3" wide. It has a wide mouth, and a deep body with a flared-out base. The footring is shallow on top, while the bottom is unevenly carved so that it goes from deep to very shallow; in contrast, it's fairly even in width and depth along the outside and top.
Done in Shadow Green, this bowl's glaze is of uneven thickness and opacity. The outside has a thin coat with thicker splotches that have run to pool along the footring. The inside has an overall thicker coat, with one side and part of the other coming out much darker than the rest. The rim glazed very thin, and like my Bowl, the glaze has a handful of pockmarks dotting the inner and outer surfaces.
With a form that allows it to be used as either a cup or a bowl, the unpredictability of a glazing's result is clearly demonstrated in this piece's sporadic drips and splashes of darker color.
