Assignment
Food must be hollow, nothing thicker than 1 inch or it may break or blow up in the kiln. Hollow forms need a vent hole – don’t forget! Score, Slip, and Seal!!! Make sure you are attaching your parts together well so they do not fall apart. Do NOT underestimate the power of scoring, slipping, and sealing! Do it, and do it well! It can be a main dish, a dessert, a side dish, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The only requirement is that it is something you would eat. Think about your favorite foods! Think about your skill level and what you can do well with clay and go from there. Use any technique: coil, slab, and/or pinch. Or, if you want to challenge yourself, think about areas in your clay work that need improving and work on that.
The food needs to be life-size or close to it.
Don’t forget to pay attention to the surface texture and make it match what you are trying to make. Take a picture of dinner tonight or find something on the web that you can use as a photo reference to make your food look super realistic.
Let’s do this! Remember to have fun!
