High Bridge Pottery

I really enjoyed doing the challenges but I have stopped running any. I felt they had run their course as participation was dwindling and my ideas were not bringing people in. I had fun trying it out and thank you to everybody who joined in but don't feel bad if you didn't. 
 
Anybody is more than welcome to take up the community challenge torch and continue.

The most valuable constraint in my first ceramics assignment was a height requirement. This challenged me to make pieces that were bigger and opened many doors. The current challenge (9 tiles) does this well in a different way. There is a fixed requirement within a very vast world of possibility. Also tiles make excellent wall art and help fill the often blank walls at a show!
 
An early university assignment that I wouldn't mind doing again: an organically inspired piece that is 12" (30 cm) or taller.
 
Does a piece get rejected for being 11"? Nah... just working at this scale is enough.
It can be done on the wheel with alterations (not decorations) or hand built.
Seed pods, vegetables and gourds are excellent starting points.

how about ''anything but round"?

I was imagining a series related to the sea/wind idea:
 
Imagine making either a collection of 5 individual pieces, or one piece incorporating, each of the five Chinese Wu Xing 'elements' or phases: earth, metal, water, wood, fire. You could use the words concretely or metaphorically, constructively (as listed) or destructively (earth, water, fire, metal, wood). Mixed media, illustration, etc all part of the challenge.
 
Limitations: you have to include all five phases in your final entry, and you cannot submit your final entry until your entire contribution is complete. (By this, I mean that the image you submit might contribute to your vision, so if it's a collection, the final entry has all of the pieces arranged by your hand as the final image submission.)
