Museum Blog

as i am walking throughout the museum i come across a piece of pottery that was created by a woman by the name of Kate Malone, she is a British lady and is known for making hand built pottery . i have come across one piece of her work and it is called Mr. tutti atomic. the mr. tutti atomic was finished in 2012 and is a great masterpiece that is listed in this museum. there is a video being shown on how she made the entire piece of pottery from scratch by just using all clay. she has help from an assistant to help mold the circles around the piece of pottery to help give it more form and more design to it. the mr. tutti atomic also has another mate to it and it’s mrs tutti. mrs. tutti is a bit smaller than mr. tutti but was created the same way. the pottery had to be put to a certain temperature to make every stick and stay on so it wouldn’t fall off. It was a lot of painting and glaze that went into making the pottery and it took a lot of time. This piece is very creative and unique. It is something that I have never seen before in my lifetime. It shows a lot of usage with different shapes and the different curves that were utilized to form this unique master piece. The different colors and color mixtures that take place on the piece of pottery really shows how colors can make a unique master piece stand out even more than usual. Kate really took her time and put a lot of love and happiness into the project which makes it such a unique project unlike others. I can tell it took a lot of thought for it to come out the way it did
