Winters Tale

(1st Place – Ceramics)

Title of Art Piece: Winters Tale
Category: Ceramics – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Rachel Burchard
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: Upon entering ceramics I didn’t know that it would come as easily as it did to me, I’ve grown to enjoy working on the wheel and putting a lot of my imagination into my art work, practicing at any free time I had available during school hours. Making my first teapot wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, the spout was far too low and the lid didn’t fit right. Each time I would make a teapot I would try and imagine a character for it. (Meaning certain glazes to match with its shape or how elegant it would look with certain colors, or details and textures.) Doing this I had started making and putting together teapots everyday, even trying advanced things like stacked teapots. I like the challenge of how well it needs to fit together and making the cups proportionate to the body size of the pots. I even liked starting to challenge myself to make sets of teapots with cups, sugar bowls, creamer containers, plates for the cups to sit on, and trays to set the pieces on. In all making teapots is a good way to challenge my imagination and my different artistic abilities.
