The rumblings and growls of stomachs can be heard again in the MS lower lobby as people walk by and admire semester two students' ceramic food sculptures (see first semester here). Eighth graders used various sculpting techniques to create these plates and the mouthwatering food on top of them, which they were sure to arrange in a pleasing composition. The pieces were then glazed to add realistic details and dimension. Bon Appetit! (or not... you might crack a tooth!)
Amazing work! They are very good ceramists!
ReplyDeleteThese sculptures are simple amazing- SO realistic and well constructed! What brand of glaze do you use- the colours are so subtle and naturalistic. Is the food attached/fused to the plates or were they fired separately?
ReplyDeleteI use Duncan Cover Coat Opaque underglazes. A few years ago, I noticed how frustrating it was for students (and me!) not to have accurate looking colors for certain things, so I have about 40 different colors available for my kids. I only have one of each color and many will last for more than one or two years before they run out, so the expense isn't as huge as I thought it'd be... and it makes a big difference. The food was all sculpted and glazed separately, but then was fused to the plate when overglazed with clear gloss!
DeleteThese are the best ceramic food sculptures I have ever seen!
