For this project I chose to glaze the jar and just paint the piece of bread. Glazing the clay was a new material that I had never done before. I really loved the way the paint job turned out after it was fired. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out since the colors change in the kiln but I think it was pretty spot-on when it came out.
I considered how things would work out almost every time I would start painting. I drew it out most of the time and I asked for tips from people around me who had already glazed. I stepped back to analyze it once I was finished to see if there were any improvements that I could make before it was fired. I was able to make changes that I think helped how it looks in the end.
I used inspiration from my class and former students' clay projects that Mrs. Rossi showed us. Then I took my own ideas (since I love peanut butter) and that's how I got my idea. At first I was going to make a jelly jar too, but after seeing how long it took to make one jar I realized that I wouldn't have time. Instead I figured I would make a piece of bread, since the two foods go together pretty well.
