Fire Pit Pottery9/20/2018 Inspiration:DraftIn progress Photo1) The process I've used to create this piece is cutting out slabs and then scoring and slipping them together to create this box. For the top, I cut a square out of the top to create a hole out of the top. 2) Difficulties I have come across is smoothing the slabs together to make the piece look like one. What was successful was cutting out the slabs for the correct sizing and my original design working out. 3) From here, I may add a lid on the top to create more of a design and so far the design has not changed from the original sketch. Final fire pit pottery1) The process of fire pit ceramics is putting chemicals along with other things like wire, leaves, etc. to create different colors in your pieces. The pieces are then burned in a pit fire. After the pieces are burned, they cool down so they are no longer hot and then sprayed to make the piece all shiny in the end.
2) I felt my piece was successful in the beginning but my piece was broken I believe during the firing so I had to glue the pieces. The colors on my piece I did like with the use of the leaves and the wiring. What I would change is maybe make my piece thicker to not break as easily if that was the issue. 3) I burned salt, wire, and leaves on my piece. I then wrapped my piece with aluminum foil wrapped around the piece.
