40 Under 40 Platter Reflection

The platter I created based on Jenny Hart's style turned out better than expected in several ways. I was very happy with the texture, color, and glazing of the piece. The intricate pieces attached stayed on, which was good.
     However, the platter was too fragile to be fired the way it was and it did end up cracking. Next time I would use a different method to fire and maybe make the clay more thick to protect it from breaking.
     I plan to make another platter soon, as a part of my next project which will focus on surface decoration, and how to draw on clay and make aesthetically pleasing designs.
