I created a clay box for my sculpture project. What I did to create it was roll out slabs of clay, then cut out the shape that I needed for the clay with a stencil and used slab to put them all together. I then let it dry and get fired once so after it had been fired once I was able to paint it with a glaze. Once I had glazed it, it was ready to be fired again, after it was fired for a second time the piece was finished. I got the idea of doing a box because I thought it would be cute to put dog treats in there instead of the card board box that the treats come in. I don't like this piece at all that I created to be honest. It's not all the same length and the lid and the actual box curve up on some of the corners. I don't like how the glaze turned out it kind of turned out splotchy, the only thing I do like about the piece is the dog bone as the handle that's really the only part I thought turned out good.

Inspired Artist
The artists who inspired me are designer Olya Glagoleva who did a collaboration with a artist named Lisa Smirnova who is Russian. They design clothes that have been embroidered to look like paint splotches and patterns. The thought they had behind the clothes they have designed is that you're very likely to have paint or other art supplies splattered on you by the time you're done with your piece, so they have now created clothing to make it look like this, but instead using a stitching design that Olya and Lisa call Paint Splotch Embroidery. These artists grabbed my attention when scrolling down the page because their work looks like they just came out of a art class that had finished painting. It looked so natural I was intrigued by what it was.
