The Call for Entry

There was no call for entry, as this was an exhibit where art students at Lewis and Clark Community College can show their portfolio in several media.

The Ceramic Art Pieces

 

Very unexpectedly shaped tea pot where the handle looks like a human nose, and the lid is like a black pyramid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I liked the paired design of a decorated, light colored box with an irregularly folded, dark clored cloth-like sheet of clay on top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A realistic representation of a rough leather boot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This shoe has a great shape, but the surface texture is even better.  I thought this piece was made of suede leather!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emily’s pieces have a playful feel to them, partly, because of the topics.  The jagged lines of the Dragon Egg, and the jagged teeth of the Delicate Jaws create a striking visual effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a beautiful piece of super realistic pottery.  I couldn’t say even from 3 feet that this wasn’t a woven wood basket.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice glazing effect on this teapot and cup.
