i’ve got small bowls
I stopped by the Y tonight and did some glazing. ( decided to be productive after my post-work jog ).

- my favorite bowl

- bowls from the side
I’ll stop by yet again tomorrow to really work during the open workshop and trim some more stuff, and snap a picture of my mug. i wasn’t able to put the detail on that i wanted to, sadly. it was bone dry when i stopped in tonight. ah well. next time.
copper red
so i had my first attempt at getting the copper red glaze to work… and it failed.
just ended up kind of a muddy color. there’s a little blush of red on the side, but its hard to see. such a nice plate otherwise.
tuesday was my last night to throw during class, all i managed to do was trim my saki cup, a second bowl, and throw a weird looking vase that’ll probably collapse as it dries ::shrug:: I’ll need to put in some extra time after hours, and maybe see about signing up for another class. its fun, but I worked out how much it is per class, and I don’t know if i can keep taking the class.
Bowls
so i got two of my press plates back from ceramics class. one’s an oribe ( green ) glaze, that i’d hoped would be more metallic and lustery, but i’m happy with anyway. the other is a curved press plate (?) dunked in a violite glaze. ( blue ).
more to come! i just glazed another one last week ( still firing in the kiln ) and I just trimmed a bowl, and threw a mug ( gonna be a coffee mug i figure now ). One of my first attempts at the mug kept falling apart, and eventually i gave up, now its going to be a small saki glass. lol.
