Jim Schatz designs and handcrafts products and makes common things in a wonderfully unique and innovative way. His focus on particular themes frequently change, from birds to poodles, from eggs to houses, from curtains to buff humpty. I really admire the way in which he combines elements of design, such as the line, shapes and textures of his products, to create products that have purpose and function. Jim creates ceramic ware made of clay that is pierced, scratched, drilled, fired and glazed into beautiful designs. The characterisitics of his designs include many organic, rounded shapes. Harmony is also used as he combines related elements such as egg-shaped products. Here are some examples of Jim Schatz’s products
His work has grown and flourished into a successful design business.

Excellent work. You did well to put that together in a lesson and your explanation of Rasters and vectors was clear and succinct. Well done.
