This week I received one part of my three-piece out of the glaze kiln which I glazed in blue, the other two I footed and put into the bisque (see left). The three set is going to be different sized and shaped vases, remaining all relatively the same. This week I also managed to throw a tall cylinder which I made a lid for and a handle and will be making that into a lidded tall mug.

This week I threw two vases, one wide more towards the top and one more wide towards the bottom, hoping to make them into my three piece. I also received a bowl out of the glaze kiln this week that I glazed the inner with the current cobalt blue and stained blue flowers on the outside, overall I like the outcome of it very much.  I also received a plate out of the bisque which I am not too fond of and haven't gotten around to glazing yet.  Hopefully I can finish my three piece next week before we leave to break!

This week I managed to make a bowl in which I intend on glazing in the current cobalt blue which is somewhat violet.  Hoping to have that finished by this next upcoming week. This week I received three projects out of the glaze kiln, all of which I was very happy of the outcomes. Expecting to make numerous projects next week.

The new semester started on Monday 1.31.11,  I threw for the first time on Thursday.  The mixer clay wasn't too bad but unfortunately I was unsuccessful and didn't succeed in making anything on the wheel that day.  On Friday however I managed to throw a tiny cylinder which I plan to make into a small mug since I already have a handle pulled for it.  I was able to make the  small cylinder as a last resort  considering I was making something much larger when it collapsed and was left with not much clay standing but decided to make the best of it.  Hoping that the bisque kiln was fired today since my two-piece that I made from last semester is in there and I am eager to glaze it and see the finished product.

This week I received my two-piece and wheel altered bowl out of the glaze kiln which I was very excited to see, especially my two-piece especially since I worked so hard on it.  This week I managed to make a medium sized vase, a narrow bowl form and another unique looking vase shape.  All of which should be arriving out of the bisque kiln on Monday.  I also got one of my mugs out of the glaze kiln this week and a mini mug that I had made for my younger brother.  I am looking forward to next week in hopes of also achieving more success in ceramics.

This week overall has been very successful. We once again have a teacher, I made a tall cylinder which I turned into a tall mug and am excited to glaze it.  I also made a wheel alter petite bowl with a curvy lip almost making it appear as a flower.  The handle that I pulled for my mug it somewhat rectangular shape with marks on the attached parts giving it a whimsical type look. On Wednesday I got numerous projects out of the bisque kiln including my two-piece which some of them I glazed on Wednesday, some I glazed on Thursday. I hope to get some projects out of the glaze kiln soon and to get some other projects out of the bisque most likely on Monday.
