This is an extra credit vase project. Overall, it is fairly uniform in shape, having an equally changing radius from top to bottom, until the lip. The lip of the vase was purposely left uneven after choking to give it a different effect. Instead of regularly glazing the vase, I put raku glaze on it and fired it raku-style. In order to fabricate this project, specifically the uneven lip, I did not trip the top after I finished choking the project to the shape of a vase. As I choked, the lip became wavy and uneven. This beautiful raku vase has emphasis and texture. The emphasis is on the shiny parts of the project where the raku really came through, and the texture is randomly bumpy and smooth, not consistent in any way. To me, this project gives off a happy, antique, rustic feeling.
