With my "blended colander" piece, I wanted to make a vibrant color and so I experimented with glazes in order to create that color. I had to create it quickly in fear of the piece drying up so I spent all day working on it. When spending so much time on this piece, it made me feel very protective of it and an overall sense of proudness that I could accomplish something like this. Looking back on this piece and comparing it to some of my old work has made me realize how far I have come from the start of the year. Once I get to college, I hope to feel the same way I do right now when I look back on these pieces.
