3/14/2019 - I made this piece on thursday last week and left it to set till monday to trim it. We did critiques of busts and mine is still drying but it is done. For some reason my cup was gone on monday when I went looking for it and I was really miffed about it cause I wanted to trim and glaze it. I did learn from this one piece about a better way to pull the clay and about he right thickness it should be

I really like how my cup looks and i just want it to turn out good

5/18/19 - This is a cup that I threw this week. I accidentally had it fly off the wheel and dent but i kept trimming it and I think that it actually turned out pretty good. This cup is for my final. I plan to hopefully make it high fire and make it look good. I also painted my two plates for my final with gloss glaze and i hope to get them fired soon.

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.
