last class
last class for a while. I’ve still got 5 more pieces coming out of bisque to glaze. And my mug is just going to start to dry today. so really 6 more pieces. I glazed two porcelain pieces and a stoneware piece.
The mug is my first attempt at shellacking porcelain, in the form of a chris bachio drawing of Cyclops from the X-Men. The jug is glazed with glossy white and old yeller, the vase is glazed with wu yellow and sponged with lords matt green. the stoneware jug is black inside and oribe green outside. even trying a small glass bead in the lid.

swapped night
swapped nights because i couldn’t make it on tuesday, so i went wednesday night.
got some of my watering can done, and some other trimming fun.
still about 5 more pieces left to do. going back tonight (thurs) to do some more.
porcelain week 3
I did some trimming last night, really happy with the overall shape now of my first porcelain bowl, and happy with my little saki jug. though the neck of it began to break while trimming it, and i had to apply some paper porcelain clay to it to shore it up. A vase i was trimming got really thin too and almost poked through, but i managed to stop short of that.
I also got 5 of my pieces back, the two flower pots, my carved bowl, and my candle holder. which turned out great =) . also got the test bowl back from the glaze pencils. so i’m looking forward to doing more with them.
porcelian week 2
the second week, really the third of class since i missed the first one, wasn’t as productive. but i did get 4 pieces done, and started working on my throwing technique more, to work away from thick bases.
porcelain
worked for a few on some porcelain, but haven’t managed to take good pictures of my stuff while i’m working on it. just going back and updating it now. I made six pieces the first night of porcelain. but only managed to remember to photograph three of them. sorry.
