Last of the school stuff

School is over (for the semester). I made it through with most of my sanity and a 4.0! W00t!

For this final slideshow of my pottery, I took final tea sets into the light studio with my D200 and took some shots with the strobes.

Tea sets

  • My goal in pottery was to make 3-4 tea sets. 2 of which being a traditional Japanese style, one white, one black, with a low temperature firing and quick reduction (cooling with little oxygen) process, also known as raku firing. The other two were of a Turkish style and done with a normal high temperature cone 10 firing (the typical firing for ceramics). All are functional and every bit made by me.

Thanks for looking, comments, criticisms, suggestions, encouragement and congrats.

    Can I have some tea? It would be real good out of that set (those). Nice job in photographing them as well. A double whammy!

    Thanks.  I haven't gotten a chance to use them...yet.  But I have filled each and every one of the teapots up with water to make sure they work and they all work excellently.  The black japanese set I gave to my brother as a graduation gift.  The turkish set with grapes carved on it was a mother's day gift to my mom.  And the other two sets are for me :-D
