My intention was to provide more homes for birds, because of trees being cut down, deforestation, or just for fun. My idea for this birdhouse was to make a slightly larger house for the birds because during the spring birds start to make nests for eggs and they need a little more space than an average birdhouse, so I made the house two stories with two entrances and a small window. The style of this birdhouse is built in a Japanese architectural style, also calm nude colors were used to give the house a more welcoming look. The birdhouse did break in the kiln, and in Japanese culture things that get broken are usually fixed or revived by painting the lines gold. So in my case, that worked out great and ended up using acrylic gold paint to make the cracks more obvious and bold. A dark maroon color was used on the inside of the birdhouse’s structure for a warm and darker tone. Some techniques I used to make the base structure of the two stories was scoring and attaching slabs to make the walls and allowing the base to get leather hard and somewhat sturdy to start attaching the roof design. For the roof, I just scored and placed strips of clay to the edge of where the two stories started, and at the top of the structure. Lastly, holes were carved out of the structures front walls for entrances for the birds to come in and out. Overall, this project took about a month to complete and the process really enhanced the art and techniques of clay and I really enjoyed this project.
