Ramen Noodle Bowls Allison Gaither Elements of Ceramics Freshman Class of 2023
This was my first time ever taking ceramics, other than when I was in elementary school in art and we would just play around and make pinch pots. My inspiration for the bowls was my brother. My brother always eats ramen noodles and for some reason he likes to eat them with chopsticks. I thought it would be an inventive idea to make a bowl with two holes for the top of the chopsticks and a spot on the other side of the bowl for the back end of the chopsticks. I made sure my bowl had a continuous curve so it looked nice and professional. I then put my bowl back on the wheel and trimmed it makes sure I had a nice foot for the bowl to rest on. Once I was done trimming I bisque fired my bowl and then glazed it making sure it was very smooth. I am most proud of my progression from beginner to a better more skilled artist. I see myself retaking and continuing my journey in ceramics.
