Totally blank on for next project ideas until a conversation with Thea today. I first thought about doing a tea pot with tea cups and sugar holder. but i wanted the viewer to be more involved. gave some thought to creating almost a 3d wallpaper and having each viewer either taking a piece down or putting a piece up. depending on when it was viewed the viewers would each get a different take on the piece. I also considered creating something like a castle and cutting it into sections and having some kind of diagram so the viewer would have to put the pieces together to view the whole piece. I also considered creating different vessels from movies and having the viewer guess which movie its from. I would have a photo of the vessel in the movie its from inside the vessel. the viewer would record what they thought it was from. each guess would be recorded under the vessel so that the next viewer could see what other people thought. examples would be the honey pot from whinny the pooh or the lamp from Aladdin.

After talking to Thea, i think i have decided to do a tera cotta wine chiller with goblets. Some kind beverage would be in the wine chiller and the viewer would pour their own goblet. The viewer would be getting the drink out of the chiller, choosing their own goblet, and filling them then drinking from it. The viewer wouldnt be as involved in the creating process but would be very involved with the final product. Plus i would be able to get more throwing practice in which is one of my goals for the semester.
