About Paw Bowl Asosiy Funktsiya: Sekin Ovqatlantirish Uchun Kosa

Kitob Matni: Paw Bowl — itlar va mushuklar uchun keramik, sekin ovqatlantirish kosasidir. Kosaning ichidagi bo'rtib chiqqan panja shakli ovqatlanish tezligini pasaytiradi. Ikkinchi versiyada panja izi faqat nozik belgi sifatida ko'rsatilgan. Yumaloq ichki sirt ovqatning yopishib qolishining oldini oladi, silliq sirlangan qoplama esa tozalashni osonlashtiradi. Yon tomonlardagi egatlar egasiga kosani ko'tarishda yordam beradi, qalin va og'ir korpus hamda tagidagi tirgaklar esa uy hayvonlarining kosani yerda surib yurishiga yo'l qo'ymaydi. Panja izi turli ranglarda individuallashtirilishi mumkin. Kosa mikroto'lqinli pech va idish yuvish mashinasida foydalanish uchun xavfsizdir.

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.
