MP1 works in progress

Here are two pictures of works in progress that I have pictures of to show you.

This is the platter for my sugar and creamer for the teapot set that I am making.  It is currently bone dry.  I hand built this piece using slabs and a paper cutout to make the curves the same height.  I found trouble while smoothing out the curved part while keeping them with all the same curvature.  

This will be a domed lid for a teapot I'm making.  It's white stoneware like the picture before but this is a wheel thrown piece.  The hardest part of this was making the rim the correct width while keeping the curve of the lid smooth.

Artist Satement

     My name is Kaelin Wolf, i'm a Junior a CV high school.  I am in AP portfolio 3D.  I play water polo and swim competitively.  My favorite media to work with is clay (white stoneware), I've worked with clay all through high school.  I like the versatility of the way the media can be used to create as well as its ability to be formed, reformed, and polished through much of the building/throwing process.  I love making teapots and vases because of the many different designs and focuses each piece can have.  My favorite core subject is science and I would really like to go into medicine as a neurologist or a psychiatrist.  My main goal artistically this year would be to improve the craftsmanship of my hand built pieces.
