LOOK AT THIS VASE I MADE IN MY CERAMCS CLASS IT WAS REALLY HARD AND THERE WERE SO MANY RISKS BUT I DID IT AND NOTHING WENT WRONG ITS A MIRACLE
(also i know NOW it looks like ferrofluid, but it was actually not the intention from the start LOL)
If you're curious as to the inspo + process, it was inspired by this minoan jug on the left! It was made in two parts, and was originally supposed to be sleeker, longer, and smaller spikes but uhh look I'm not very good at ceramics LOL. So the size of the spikes and the more round shape.. already not on purpose, a byproduct of my lack of skill.
There was a lot of waffling on what colors I wanted to do, I had floated Squeakoid colors (white base, colorful spikes), all black, tenmoku (black but breaks brown), as well as half and half.
I decided on black in the end because DARK GOTH VIBES and my teacher felt the shape was so much already that simple black would highlight the silhouette and not be too busy.
And that's how in the end it turned into a ferrofluid vase by accident LMFAO
My latest sculpture is done! I blew the glass myself, and made ferrofluid, and put this whole thing together. The little wooden stones have magnets in them to manipulate the ferrofluid.
Of course all I can see are the bits that I wanted to be different, but I'm trying to be proud of what I made. This was my first time ever blowing glass, and my first time making ferrofluid from scratch. Getting the holes to actually be the right size for the irregularly sized glass objects was SO HARD.
