For my first long-term project in ceramics class, I explored how a vessel could extend beyond its conventional form. I joined five separately wheel-thrown sections using slipping and scoring, experimenting with how the vessel’s walls could project outward. Around the base and neck, I hand-built small houses onto slabs wrapped around the form. I carved a central window, adding cascading plants, and incorporated a ladder that draws the eye upward, creating a sense of movement through the piece. Although the pot’s outer structure resembles an architectural landscape, the hollow interior preserves its function as a vase. This project allowed me to combine wheel throwing, hand-building, and surface detail into a single sculptural form.
