Tray for May

My tray for may piece first started out as a ying yang tray that I have been working on for two classes then when it was set out to dry it had cracked so I tried to slab the two pieces back together but they wouldn't stay together so I had to start over. Now my new tray for may is a rolled out design with a high fire glaze topping. For the tray all I did was roll out a piece of clay and I made it a thick tray, then I took a design roll stamp and rolled the design onto the tray and when that was done I laid it out to dry.  The two high fire glazes that I used were Dark Green and Artic Blue 

This piece offers the principals of variety because of the repeated patterns, balance because it brings the piece together, and unity because of the way the whole piece ties together. 

I am overall impressed by this piece because of how bad the start was and how time consuming that it took for the one piece then when it started cracking I lost hope but then I just needed to create something really quick and I'm impressed with the high firing glazes that I chose.
