Ceramic voicebox

Here is my resulting ceramic voicebox piece which i created earlier in the month (click on photograph to enlargen). This piece is highly stylistic with the rust symbolising the wear and tear secrets have on us if they are withheld. I also created a short whispering sound effect with I placed within the vessel to symbolise secrets; hopefully I will have a video of it uploaded soon!

I found working with clay to be a highly educative experience in which i learned many new techniques in creating forms and working with glazes.I learned that the process and creation of beautiful ceramic pieces is quite an intricate one. I also found out that the more developed a design is the less likely you are to run into any problems. Simple and clear design is without doubt the way to go in creating effective ceramic pieces.

 I like the way my ceramic work turned out although I would have liked to add various other features to it for example, writen secrets glazed inside the cup form. I would have also liked to put in a turquiouse colourant through the rusted shapes to show further decay but overall I am quite happy as my concept comes across quite clearly through the piece.
