11/2/2018 - During this week I continued working on my small hut house thing. Its giving me surprising amount of trouble. I tried to create a pointy roof for it but that did not look good so i decided to get rid of it. I put a flat piece of slab on top of it to create more of a castle look and as it dried it ended up cracking. Ill put more clay on that spot and get it wet to keep it there. I tried to make a pinch pot but i ended up dropping it right at the end of class. I made two because I wanted to make another smaller animal sculpture. Thursday in class i worked on the scholastic magazine and didn't get a chance to work on any clay.

5/2/2019 - This week my bust finally got finished and I really like the way that it turned out, I really like the glaze i chose a lot. My rectangular plate didnt really work out. It got too dry, so it was hard to add new parts to it, and because I added a huge hole to it, there was really no fixing that once it was dry. I got kind of bored with the rectangular idea and i put it in the slop bucket, rolled a new slab, and ive made a triangular plate. Im keeping with the same concept but not using the exact same construction method. I let this plate set out to dry so hopefully it will become more leather hard over the weekend.

4/25/19 - this week i finished up my set of four and started on my dinner place setting. For the dinner plate i was going to do a rectangle shape and i traced it out to the right size but the clay is too thick. I hope that it will be moist enough to keep flattening. For the four plates I put on a few good coats of transparent gloss glaze over the underglaze and i hope that they turn out good.
