Planter Planet Spring 2023
Planters are a timeless piece of art that are practical and useful in all cultures. Planters are one of those household items that anyone can have, just to provide some life to the house. In fact, my family loves to have plants in our house because they are thought to be refreshing and bring vibrant energy to a home. Rather than having a dull, dark house—we love to incorporate spider plants and flowers around the house to help the house seem more inviting. One of the problems of wanting to have a number of plants in your house is finding planters that are cheap and original. Planter Planet provides homemade planters with unique color combinations that really makes the interior of the house POP!
I made these planters with a rolling pin, a metal container as the shell, and with my bare hands. Since this is my last time taking ceramics in the near future, I wanted to also experiment with the glazes and discover new color combinations. My time in ceramics was an up and down roller coaster but I found my love in making planters and other pieces that I didn’t need to rely on the wheel to create. I found it easier to express myself through my art when I handcrafted my pieces rather than throwing on the wheel. Overall I will look back on my time in ceramics as a fun learning experience and have an open mind while I go into Photography next year.
