Remember wayyy back when? When I wrote about my first class of the new Pottery session. Yes, January 15th. Well ... that "pot" that I made that first night was FINALLY fired and I was able to bring it home! (See picture on right) As you can see, I went a little overboard on the glazing techniques. It looks like a multi-colored patchwork. I used Maple Sugar on the handle and on the back of the top by the handle. (see picture on the left) I used Grey Violet Mandy on the back rear and Neil's Blue Green on the front and cross-over. It looks a little motley but I made it with my bare hands. That's something. Overall, it has pretty decent form.
I can't believe that in 10 weeks all I have to show for it - is one small piece.
What a shame. Maybe I missed too many classes. Maybe I wasn't very productive this session. But my last class, Thursday, March 19th, I was very productive and three magnificant pieces. I wish that I was better after 3 full sessions (about 10-11 weeks per session). I'm getting there and I plan to keep at it as long as I can.
I also found a "lost" piece. Evidently I didn't put the class symbol (a square for Sunday night classes) on the bottom of my pot, so after it was "bisqued" the pottery assistants didn't know where to put it. So I glazed it last week and got to bring it home. See pics attached. The date on the bottom says 109. (See pics on the right.)
So I'm guessing that I made it in January? I glazed it with Black Lapis all over and used the aerator to make swirls in blue. It looks much cooler with the flash from the camera. (See picture on the left)
