Pizza Party
Frank Halloran
Ceramics 2
I made the pieces by throwing the plates on the wheel. I then trimmed them and drew a sketch onto each plate. I used underglaze to “paint” pizzas onto the plates and then bisque fired them. After that, I used a coat of clear glaze and then after a final fire, they were finished. This is my second semester in ceramics and I really wanted to start experimenting with underglaze. The idea happened when me and my friends were messing around with underglaze because we were in study hall and I had a plate I needed to glaze or underglaze. We decided to draw a pizza on one of the plates I threw and from there I had the idea to make that the theme for my art show and continue making pizza designs on plates. Once I decided this was the theme for my show, we decided that after the art show, my friends and I were going to have a pizza party using the plates, which is how I named my pieces. I am glad that I decided to make this my theme and overall I’m really proud of how all my pieces turned out.
