These are two of the projects that I made this week. The one of the far left almost broke when i tried to string it, but Ms. H helped me re-compress the base so it didnt break, but I wasnt able to foot it properly, so it is drying in my locker with a rounded bottom. The one of the right I made on Thursday, but I forgot to foot it on Friday so I bagged it for Mondays class. I also got 3 projects out of the glaze kiln, 4 projects out the bisque and put 3 projects onto the glaze shelf and 2 or 3 into the bisque. I am busy busy busy making my ceramics stuff. My room if filling up fast hah. I will be writing my new projects up here soon. Check them out! :) 

This is the small V shaped bowl that I made last Thursday, I footed it yesterday and just forgot to upload the photo. 


I think its really cute :) kind of thick though.. At least in the base. But the overall shape and form of it is good in my opinion. 

I also glazed 3 other projects today! Finally got to use the new glazes! Purple & Turquoise! I hope they turn out well!

This is my first plate! Ms. H did a demo for them on Wednesday and I jumped right on in and make my first one! Its really bad though.. Oh well. For a first time plate I think its alright. 


The lip is really thick and the base is oppositely very thin, so we'll see if it even makes it out of the bisque. But it is footed and drying in my locker right now. 


I also make another project on Thursday, small V shaped bowl, really cute, but I was home sick on Friday so I had a friend bag it so I could foot it on Monday. I hope it didnt dry up too much.. That would be sad. I forgot to take picture of it, but I'll get one tomorrow. 

Yes, its sideways again, hah. I will try and remember to take my pictures from a regular angle.


Well I made this one today :) only took me like 8 minutes, tops. I was proud of it. Footing it tomorrow and hopefully into the bisque soon to be apart of my 3 piece project. Finally starting that one.. 


I also footed my pot/vase from yesterday and took more photos of finals projects that came out of the kiln. I am also super excited to make something that I can glaze with the new turquoise glaze! Hope it turns out good. Fingers crossed. 

I apologize for this photo being sideways.. For some reason I was unable to rotate it or upload it in the correct position. 


Anyways, I threw this today fairly simply and I think I am going to make it a part of my three piece project, which I am going to base on glaze patterns. I also had two projects come out of the glaze kiln today, I am pretty happy with them as well :)

This is a small bowl made on the wheel, and it is approximately 4.5 inches wide by 2 inches tall. The sides come out slightly from the base and have smooth textures on the inside and outside walls and it has a footed ring on the bottom. Half of the bowl is dipped in a glassy yellow glaze and the other half is a dull, earthy brown glaze. 

This is a small bowl/vase like project that was made on the wheel, and it is 3.5 inches tall by 4.25 inches wide (including the lip). The project has a very thin lip that flares outwards and a V like shape, wtih a wider top and narrower base. The inside and lip of the project is glazed in a red, which turned out more salmon pink, and the bottom 2.25 inches is covered in a black glaze. There is a singular horizontal stripe all the way around the project that is a clear glaze in between the red and black.  

This project is a tall cylinder form that was made on the wheel and it is approximately 4.25 inches tall by 3 inches wide. The walls are uniform in thickness throughout and there are two leaves carved into the exterior walls of the project on opposite sides of the cylinder. There is also a curved horizontal line carved into the the project that runs along the base, and the foot has half circle indents carved into the ring every half inch. The interior is glazed in a yellow, as well as the horizontal curved line on the outer walls. The section of wall space between the yellow curve and the foot ring is glazed in shadow green, which compliments the two shadow green leaves. The surfaces around the leaves in between the top of the project and the curved horizontal line is covered in a off white glaze. 

This simple V shaped bowl was thrown on the wheel and is 4 inches tall by 4.5 inches wide. The base of the project is narrower than the top, and the bottom has thicker walls as compared to the top, but the texture of the walls is smooth inside and out. The entire project was glazed in a black and there was a ring of red glaze along the base as well as along the lip that didn't show up on top of the black. 

This tall form project is 5.25 inches tall by 3.75 inches wide and has a thicker base and thinner walls. The surface of the entire project is smooth both internally and externally. There is a slight curve in the project where the walls of the form bend inward slightly about half way up the walls. There is a thick ring of black glaze along the slight indent of the walls, and random splatter and drips of black glaze all over the exterior walls, the inside of the project has light a black glaze thinly spread in rings on the inside. The entire thing was covered in a clear, which cracked in the bottom of the cylinder and in various places on the outer surface, giving it a rustic, bucolic look.  

This is a small bowl that is 2.5 inches tall by 5.25 inches wide, including the lip. The walls, both interior and exterior, are smooth and thin throughout, it also has a thin flared lip that bend outward and a footed ring on the bottom. The entire project was glazed in a bright glossy yellow and and the lip was dipped in shadow green. There are drips of shadow green starting at the lip and dripping towards the bottom of the project both in the interior and exterior.  

This is a wide bowl project that is 3 inches tall by 6.25 inches wide. The walls are fairly thick, as compared to most of my other projects, and it has a smooth surface both inside and out. There is a slightly flaring lip and a foot ring on the bottom. The entire project was glazed in our mystery glaze, which turns out as an extremely textured tan/brownish color with flecks of green throughout, and the bottom of the bowl was covered in a thick shadow green which pooled together and created a metallic colored mirror like glaze in the base.  

This is a small cup shaped project that was thrown on the wheel and is approximately 3.5 inches tall by 3.5 inches wide. The base of the project is slightly thicker than the top of the walls, and there is a small bulge in one side of the project where the center is off. It also has a small lip and footed ring on the bottom. Half of project was dipped in the brownish/green flecked mystery glaze and the other half in shadow green. Unfortunately the shadow green turned out splotchy, thick in some ares and thin in other, so in places the project looks like it isn't glazed at all. 

This is another bowl that I made on Thursday that I forgot to add to my other blog entry. I figured I would try a new technique with this bowl. Usually I make really thin projects where the walls of the project are thin and flimsy, but with this project I intentionally made the sides and lip thicker. I like it :) even though its a little heavy, oh well.
