Arizona themed Agateware Set

April 18, 2019 ASAA


(2nd Place – Ceramics)

Title of Art Piece: Arizona themed Agateware Set
Category: Ceramics – 2019
Student/Artist’s Name: Caitlin Sargeant
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

Throughout this process of making this set, I combined two different colored clays to create this series of agateware. I colored the blue clay by wedging in Mason stains to a white clay body. I made all pieces light weight and flared the rims to make them more functional. After making each piece I used a metal rib to scrape off the excess clay to show the beautiful swirls within the clay. I experimented with varied sized flutting tools with different designs to expose the layers of colored clay. I hand pulled each handle and placed them accordingly so the weight would be balanced in the user’s hand.

Artwork Dimensions: tall blue mug 4.25" high x 6" wide x 4.5" wide
