This week in my LILLSTREET THROWDOWN class, my students brought their homework assignments back to class. They had been challenged to make a set of four “matching” side bowls… or at least coordinating to appear as a set if they didn’t want to decorate them all matchy-matchy. So much fun to see what they had come up with. Some more technically accurate, some beautifully designed & decorated. While others didn’t quite finish the challenge…. mwah, mwah, mwah…
Dana was chosen the top winner with her slip-striped bowls… which were incredibly matched in their shape, size & form… but she earned extra merit for the crisp, clean & colorful slip decoration too!
Melanie went a little lower profile with some layered slip accents.
Tracy threw beautiful terra cotta bowls and added a subtle & beautiful colored ombre inside.
Jen colored her large ramen bowls with color slip, brush strokes & splatters.
Christine made four little dessert cups with a LOT of slip fun going on…
colorful marbled slip inside and colored slip appliques adhered to the exteriors.
Norah continued her minimal design technique that won her rave reviews in the tile challenge!
Molly did some nice stamping on her bowls to tie them all together.
And oh, but wait there’s more…
Our little “over-achieveing” Christine decided to hedge her bets and make three sets of matching bowls! One set had a whimsical floral pattern made with white slip that she color-zed with Mason stains.
While the third set used the same “color-ized” slip to play with some marbled “tie-dye” effects that I introduced them to last week in class.
