  1. All of his works look effortless. The first one is my favorite. Our free form pots are like these in how they take no particular shape.

  2. Like our free form pots they look as if they were made without actually plan and just took on a more definite shape as they were sculpted. My favorite is the third one which appears as if it is balancing on the stand.

  3. I like these because they are free formed but they look as though they planned to make them look this way. -Will Watson

  4. I like the second one and how it has the little holes in the middle of it. I think it looks similar to the ones we are doing now because we have to follow the pattern of the base all the way up in order to keep your shape. - Abbie Burns

  7. I like these because they are so so smooth and different than anything I have ever seen. Mine is not very similar to his pieces because his are very smooth and mine isn't. Also, mine is more square while his are kind of round

  8. I really like his because his is more of a figure than a pot. I also like his because they have holes in the middle of them and they remind me of bubble letters. Mine is much less smooth than his but i hope mine will be that smooth when i am done!

  9. These are really relaxing to look at. They're a lot more smooth and neat than my pot.

  10. They're essentially what we strive to achieve with our free form objects, but we'll never get there.
