We are finishing up our 7" vessels this week along with our symmetrical tiles. Look for grades to be posted in Synergy soon! We will be doing a critique of our vessels and talk about ways to improve craftsmanship.
Several of you have a turn on the wheel. Our clay calendar will be posted tomorrow so go ahead and sign up for upcoming dates to perfect your skills.

We are continuing to hand build using coil, slab and pinch methods. A few students at a time will begin centering on the wheel this week! Please dress for mess! You can review this video about the process of centering. Remember, it takes a lot of practice so stick with it! It has been a busy start to the semester!
We have learned 3 basic hand building techniques-SLAB, COIL and PINCH. Students should at this point have a mini sample of each type completed and drying. Our first project is to construct a 7" vessel using one or a combination of the methods we have learned. You must have a sketch with three possibilities for your vessel before startng construction. |
