Portraiture – Mia

Like to get your hands dirty? If so, then maybe working is clay is for you! While attending Gulf Coast Community College, I took their ceramics course a few times. The subject matter ranged from hand-built pottery and busts, to wheel-thrown pottery.

Portraiture – hand-built bust:

This bust was of a classmate who sat across the table from me in ceramics class. Her name was Mia. After the bust was bisque fired, I finished it with brown and blue shoe polish.
