Stilt House

7 3/8 in L x 6 1/5 in W X 4 3/8 in H, ceramic and glaze, 2019

The ceramic model of a stilt house was a personal piece that I made during my ceramics 2 class of my senior year in high school. While this was a personal piece, I selected this one to be put on display for the Spring 2019 art show at the Palos Verdes Peninsula Library. I made this piece entirely from memory of how stilt houses were built. Similar to other ceramic buildings I made, this one also utilized the glazing. This piece was made from clay and secured onto a clay slab to provide extra support for the stilts which I glazed a blue color to give the impression of water on the base rather than leaving it unpainted.
