Facets

     This was a fun piece. I skimped out on it a fair bit, because we were supposed to make 5 5X5 tiles, but that would have taken a lot of clay, and cheap me decided that I'd rather save clay, so instead here are 4 4X4 tiles! I wasn't looking forward to this at first because their sole purpose was to help us with our glazing technique, but while I was watching the demonstration the professor did, I saw this technique to get these sharp, precise lines with the glaze, and I decided to practice it on all the tiles. Much masking tape and an exacto knife later, this happened! I wasn't originally planning for them all to be a part of the same composition, but as I was sketching up ideas, it occurred to me. I ended up using this technique on several of my pieces since this, so I'd say that the masking tape-and-exacto knife style is a keeper.
