For my vessel project I made little glasses out of baby head molds!!! I had a really hard time figuring out what to do for this project, but when we did the mold practice in class I got inspired. Using the molds is really simple, so I made a few different ones.There was one that I had no hope in fixing though, so I turned it into a weird decorative piece. It's the dark one in the back. I had a lot of fun making these, and a lot of fun seeing peoples reactions to them. I made them just in time for halloween too! I'll still probably use them year round though haha.
Some new things I tried during this project, besides the molds, was using the new glazes. We recently got glazes that have little bits of glass(I think?) in them that melt on your piece. The bigger shards come out as blotches, like the ones on the white and blue cup, and some of the glaze came out as little dots. I even tried layering two glazes; yellow underneath with a green speckled glaze on top (the one on the left).
