Pots Date: September 2, 1998 Materials: Clay and grinned stone Richard DeVore’s major concern in his work may be the opening in the top part of the bowl, this means that he made because he invented this style of ceramics.
Pots Date: February 11, 2001 Materials: Clay and grinned stone Richard DeVore tried a different form than the last one this one is smaller but is wider and it also has the opening in the top part.
Pots Date: March 15, 2004 Materials: Clay and Grinned Stone In this pot the artist Richard DeVore wanted to give it something else so he made a figure in the bottom of the pot.
Pots Date: April 21, 2004 Materials: Clay and Grinned Stone This ceramic pot is very different than the other in the way the bottom is not flat, it also doesn’t have he opening in the top par of the bowl.
Pots Date: August 27, 2000 Materials: Clay and Grinned Stone In this pot you can see that the artist tried something new and made the pot unevenly, the front part is lower that the back part and the side are straight you can also see the opening in the bowl.
Sketch #1 One of my sketches has a lot in common with Richard DeVore in the way that I decided to make and opening in my pot also I decided to put figures in the pot like a circle in the front part. I am going to try to make it in the style of coil construction.
Sketch #2 In this sketch I didn’t follow Richard DeVore pottery I decided to make a square pot and followed the figure making in the pot. This pot will be a slab construction .
