Inspired by Karen Swyler
For my project I did minimalist glazework. With one band of color circling the piece and the inside the same color, similar to the image to the right. I also loved how her pieces fit together so one part of my work can be slid in. I added a curved rim in contrast to the geometric structure and adding texture to make it my own. When creating my piece I did not use the same techniques as her and slab built.
