Journal #2; Vase, Louise Shye


Kala Stein:
her small vases remind me of my salt and pepper shakers for how petite they are, I absolutely love working small, it's a shame that I have to do one large one rather than many small vases! These vases of hers are flat on one side, you can put two together like a puzzle to be like a whole vase, but not. I would love to do something like this sometime, especially be perfect for my center pieces for my wedding.

Sam Chung:
his vases consist of abstract shapes that are tall in length. I really enjoy the distorted look, I am definitely wanting to hand build my vase and incorporate edges as well as roundness, maybe some thrown pieces on it. Also, the painting on his pieces are very slick and sharp which I really enjoy. 



Bryan Hopkins:
All I can say is TEXTURE! I love how it looks just like it was made from a wooden picket fence. It looks like the real thing, it manipulates our eyes in seeing such magnificent beauty! I really enjoy the wood panel look and it's very rustic in a way. I would like to do texture to my pieces as well, I may even steal this wood idea?!


Kirk Mangus:
When I was looking at "vases" I saw this one in particular that caught my eye...the color! I love the use of glazes in this. One question how do I go about doing "Electric Oxidation Glaze" to some of my pieces? I enjoy the vibrancy of color.
