Bonsai

So I just wanted to make a quick little post on a hobby I have had for many years. It is an ancient art called "Bonsai" which literally translated into "tray growing." Trees are confined into small pots and their branches are wired and foliage cut into aesthetic and pleasing forms. Here is a bonsai tree I created. The tree I found in the wild! I am wondering if I should start making my own bonsai pots. It would be cool to design my own!  

Unfunctional Teapot

Believeably dysfunctional. Unique. I like it! What do you think?

Teapot!

Sorry for the dark pictures. I made this teapot last year and was incredibly happy with how it came out. I use it for tea all the time. The spout is a bit dribbly when you pour, by there is a technique I'm working on to stop that! NFS.

New Blue Vase!

Vase thrown early this school year. I am happy with the lightness of it and the glazes. Roughly 7- 8 inches tall and 3-4 inches wide. $15. Contact docsheiman@gmail.com if interested.

Yay!

I entered the "Alliance for Youngs Artists and Writers" art competition and I won a gold key, a silver key, and 4 honorable mentions. I'll put pictures up later. The photos i got honorable mentions for are on my blog, if you look to the right...

Also congrats to Branndon Chen (one of my "clay pals"), who won a gold and silver key, and a national silver medal!

Teal Vase

This is one of my favorite pieces ever. I specifically picked my favorite glazes-- teal outside, a 'philly green' inside, and a pattern on noxema blue on the outside. Approx. 5in tall; 6in wide. $20. Contact docsheiman@gmail.com if interested.

Small Vase

A small, tomato colored vase with a seagreen inside. A cute little gift for someone. Approx. 5in tall; 4in wide. Contact docsheiman@gmail.com if interested. $10. *THAT SPECKLE OF BLUE IS NOT THERE-- MAYBE A CAMERA GLITCH?*
