290 - It's all Greek to Me

Day 290. Today's create is a piece of Greek inspired virtual pottery, made with Pottery HD, a very interesting iPad app that lets you throw digital clay on a digital potters wheel. After making the vase and decorating it with Greek patterns, I passed it through Megaphoto+ to give it this pop art look.

071 - Playing with Virtual Clay

Day 71. The Pottery HD app allows you to make virtual pottery on a virtual pottery wheel. It's obviously not the real thing, but it's a bit of fun to play. It even teaches some interesting things about different types of clay, throwing techniques, and even helps you learn about some art history with the use of different patterns and pot types that were used in different cultures.

038 - Throwing Virtual Pottery

Day 38. Today's create is a piece of virtual pottery created in an iPad app called Pottery HD. It lets you create virtual pottery on a virtual wheel and decorate it with virtual glaze. You need to earn points to have access to better brushes and colours, and it gradually gives you more tools as you use it. It's surprisingly engaging.

This pot was made on a (virtual) wheel using (virtual) white clay and decorated with (virtual) Egyptian brush designs. Despite what you might imagine, if you keep playing this app you end up pushing your design ideas further and further in an attempt to keep coming up with different pot designs.
