My project is a bowl that was glazed with forest cobalt and black. The result was a very dark bowl with very little contrast in the value. I dipped the piece in half black and half forest cobalt, which ended up differently than I had hoped. The mood of the piece is very dark and gloomy. The bowl itself is very symmetrical, with steep edges and a defined lip. While making this project I learned that glaze choice is very important in determining the mood of a project, and I learned which colors contrast well with each other and which ones don't. I also came to realize the importance of sanding the lip of a project, because even if it feels fairly smooth when it's greenware, when it's glazed all of the little sharp bits are more accentuated.
