Artist: Asher Byrne
What kind of art is it? Ceramic sculpture
What do you call your piece? Mr. Owl Mang
What inspired this piece? We had to create a piggy bank. I googled ceramic animals and found one of an owl.
What class did you create this in? Ceramics 1 with Mrs. Palombo
How did you make it? I started with a block of clay, free formed it with my hands, added texture, cut it in half and hollowed it out, bonded it together, put in the kiln to harden, glazed it, put in the kiln to dry the glaze, and painted black and yellow eyes.
If your ceramic owl piggy bank could speak, what would it say? “Knock, knock.” “Who’s there?” “Hoo.” “Hoo, who?” “Now give me your money!”
