Development:Inspiration:Final piece:(picture hasn’t been uploaded yet: check in on 5/22)Reflection:This piece was a huge experiment for me. I had done previously things like the tea cup in which were melting but this piece was the first time I got to use a slip casting and melting together. I loved making the tea cup and also any type of slip castings and so this was my chance. The hardest part about this piece was probably the slip. The slip in ended up using was very watered down so I took for ever just for it to set in the casting and then I had to run it down the face to make it look like it was melting. I think the most difficult thing was to make the piece actually look like it is melting with the slip. I had to layer many layers of the slip but, the biggest problem was trying to make the drips go in the same direction and dry looking like drips. I think even though I like the piece and the idea a fair amount, I would like to maybe recreate this piece but with a little more experience under my belt. Maybe I could make multiple different body parts with slip casting and have a set of melting body parts. I think I could also experiment with glazes to see how I could make a face look like it is melting with glaze. I have actually started to do a test piece on this idea however it is just something that was thrown on the wheel not a slip casting. I think piece turned out fairly good.
