Formal Exhibition

Abstract

This paper examines surface and glaze exploration within ceramic sculpture. By using wheel and hand building techniques to make the foundation of forms, graduate student Brianna Deterling experimented with the surface and non-traditional techniques to give her sculptures an interesting appeal. Her discoveries from these experiments led to expanded possibilities for reaching a final, unified form. This paper supports the artist?s thoughts and the processes of the sculptural forms evolving into quality pieces of art.
