Assignment 2 - Liz Woodard
I like this work by Holly Walker. This type of oval bowl is a nice diversion from the ordinary. Also the uneven tabs on the sides of it look nice because it also breaks the symmetry that you often see in most pieces.
I like these pieces made by Mark Pharis. These can work as plates and also still contain a little bit of liquid because of their curve. I also appreciate the unique shape that they are, not a circle or a square. The biggest thing I am impressed with is that all of the plates are pretty much exactly similar. I would find it difficult to make so many that looked so similar in every way.
I love this piece by Liz Zlot Summerfield! Her other pieces are great, but i really enjoy this piece because not only does it have her characteristic dots and glazing it also has additional script and a floral pattern. I like how on this piece she made it unique while still keeping her regular trademark designs.
This plate by Kristen Kieffer is interesting. I like her trademark look of the glazes that gives it an old fashioned look. One thing that I notice in this piece that is not in her other pieces is the strategic placing of the orange colored dots. It makes me wonder how she placed those there.
