About Paw Bowl د پاو بولۍ د حیواناتو د خوراک وروسته کوونکی لوښی

پاو بولۍ د سپو او پيشو لپاره یو سیرامیکي ورو خوراک ورکوونکی لوښی دی. د لوښي دننه یوه پورته شوې د پښې نښه د خوراک سرعت ورو کوي. دویمه بڼه یوازې د پښې نښه د یوې نرۍ نښانې په توګه ښیي. ګردې داخلي سطحه خوراک د ونښلېدو څخه ساتي، او سلوی شیشه‌یی سطح یې پاکول اسانه کوي. د خوا څنډو کې کولمې مالکانو ته د لوښي پورته کولو کې مرسته کوي، په داسې حال کې چې دغیځ، درانه بدن او د پښو کوسنۍ حیوانات د لوښي پر ټاټوبي د خوځولو مخه نیسي. د پښې نښه په بېلابېلو رنګونو کې شخصي کیدی شي. لوښی د مايکروویو او لوښي مینځنې ماشین لپاره خوندي دی.

Production Technology
1. Make a design image hand built by clay.
2. Digital modeling
3. 3D printing
4. Attached hand built paw sculpture.
4. Make a 4 parts plaster mold.
5. User testing
6. Research and improve glaze for the color.
Design Challenge
Trapezoid designing is what I had to learn for 3D modeling in order to create the same angle engaged design.
I used the 3D printed models to make the plaster molds and the stoneware prototypes.
I wanted the Paw to be changed to a personal choice of many colors, so I had to research and test many high fire clear glazes in order to find which one would show the actual bright color.
Research
I researched usable materials to find what would be the strongest, and this stainless steel. But stainless steel is not microwave safe and it is easy to push away because it is not usually heavy. Another option was porcelain. Porcelain would not be durable enough and would be many times the cost. Stone clay makes it heavy, strong, and beautiful. Also, I used to work in an animal hospital where we used stainless bowls and they remind me of sick animal patients. Pets are our family and we often use ceramic dinnerware ourselves. So stone clay was the best material for the pet bowl for me.
Inspiration
My best friend asked me to make a pet bowl for her cat Taiga, which she had just adopted from an animal shelter. Taiga did not like eating from plastic containers and she often ate too fast causing her to regurgitate the food.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2016 in Pennsylvania, United States and finished in October 2020 in Pennsylvania, United States and was exhibited in ARTSPACE 1241 in November - December 2020.
Operation Flow
The adorable paw is designed to help slow eating. The square exterior base design helps the bowl visually fit in any type of room, while the inner round arch helps prevent the pet's food from getting stuck.
The exterior curves reduce the chance of pets picking up and overturning the bowl. The material of the bowl is also thick and heavy enough that along with the extra foot pads the bowls are difficult for pets to bush the bowl away and also prevent scratching of floors. The bowl is perfectly designed on the sides to make it easier for someone to grab and lift the bowl.
