Meagan
Meagan took a very rigorous approach to carving, creating a hexagon tower of sorts. She combined the pieces together to make one large hive structure on the wall, using gold leaf to fill in the cracks, mimicking honey.
Lauren
Lauren is creating complex pieces with two simple forms - a small ball and a plastic diamond.

Jessie
Jessie's army of plague/animal/bacterial forms. She was able to cast so many, and made an arrangement based on tonal differences. White china paint was added to the surface in tribal-esqe patterns. So nice.
Laura
Laura's form references the original cube it was carved from, while managing to be very fluid and viscous.
Christiana's factory
Christiana made her mold from a pre-exsisting mug and then added her professor Dean's face to the outside with oil clay. The cups turned out amazing, and I feel lucky to have one. The detail and transitions are perfect, with typical Dean quotes on the inside.

end of quarter excitement
We rented a cargo van, drove into the wilderness, and filled it up with vintage molds. Look out...

Christiana
Christiana's juicer/tray form. She was trying to glaze all three stacked one on top of the other, but they sort of moved during the firing. I really like the way the piece worked out - how each form is shifted yet it stands perfectly.
Jamie
Jamie's carved doorknobs. They have an lovely, oversized Alice in Wonderland feel to them. China paint and gold luster decoration, back one has tiny bows precisely cut away.

Annie
With Ohio Pride Annie carved this model out of dense foam, left. I love the way the bluish glazing flowed with the Ohio River on the far right. This swing state has leaned to the left.
Monica and Anne
Monica's forms on the left, with collaborative cups on the right
Anne's form on the left with the collaborative cups on the right. It was great to see the collaboration between these two. They asked a lot of questions and took advantage of creative liberty.

Spring 2009 Hand Carved Plaster Forms
Over all, it seems that the spring mold making students have pursued more complicated forms then those of the winter quarter. The Spring class was aware of their predecessor's, and have been influenced a little.

Shannon' diamond lattice insanity
She has really stumbled across something here with this diamond form that has been cut away to its minimal structure.

Autumn,
It is nice to see a couple of takes on the same form. Autumn flipped the object over for variation.
David's Rhyton
David digitally modeled and cnc milled from dense foam, the form on the right to produce these rhyton drinking vessels. With no means for resting these cups, the drinking must continue. Check out David web site, click here.

mold making
Students made molds like these of their hand carved plaster forms, to then cast in ceramic material.
Hand Carved Plaster
As shown below, and here, each student began with a cast 6x6" plaster cube; which have been carved into faceted forms.
