Favorite Food

Everyone has a favorite food! Think about the food that you love to eat, one you would like to try and recreate in clay form, and let's start to get inspired about food. You may make an entire pie, or just the piece of pie, but all foods must be accompanied by sides and the plate or bowl they would be found in. Example: pizza on a plate or fries in a basket w/ketchup, pasta in a bowl, etc. ​

Assignment:
Your assignment is to recreate your favorite food in clay. You must find at least 3 inspiration photos to give you a starting point.  These food pieces can be created by building with hard slab or just hand building; Just remember that your pieces need to be hollowed out (no thicker than 1" sides) or they may crack or blow up in the kiln. One they go through the bisque firing you will be painting your food with acrylic paint (no need to match glazes) and then sealing them with clear spray.
