Ceramic area mural call for design!

This is a call for mural design proposals for the back wall in the ceramics area :art:

The ceramics committee will be voting June 6th and the design with the most votes will be painted later that month by the ceramics community. If you have a proposal please upload a sketch/rendering of it in this thread or bring it to the ceramics committee meeting on June 6th at 6:30pm. The only stipulation is to stick with neutral colors similar to the clay bodies we use in the space, like these:

Looking forward to seeing everyone’s ideas!

Here is my entree- colors/shades negotiable:

From a practical standpoint, the committee might consider using semigloss paint because it’s washable. Just sayin’ …

EDIT: There might be some type of glossy sealant you could put over the mural to make it washable.

The designs are looking great y’all! :heart_eyes:

We talked about it at the committee meeting tonight and wanted to extend the voting day to the day of the throw down- June 24. Some people expressed wanting more time, and this would allow for more time to collect all entrees and the verdict will hopefully reflect our community more, as we are anticipating a high turn out of our members for the event! Get your designs in by noon June 24! Happy making

Above my art level, but somehow I see each of those vent hoses as an elephants snout.

Here’s the mural! Come check it out in the ceramics area. As suggested, we used a semi-gloss paint to make sure it is washable in the future.

Any additions or further suggestions can be taken in the next committee meeting December 5 :slight_smile:
