Today has been another big day in the ceramic department. Lots of us here working on these darn cylinders. Most of us doing okay, some look like bowls, flower pots, I am hoping that they are considered cylinder like. I am working through some of the issues but having a hard time making the cylinders tall and thinner. I am using a sponge and my fingers but still having some issues with making them lean. I am rocking on bowls and getting the bottom wider and a half inch on the bottom.
I am wondering if we are going to glaze all these things and use them. I hope so! I am trying different types of clay and porcelain. The porcelain seems to be easier to use than the stoneware. I am assuming that it is the texture of the mixtures. I am going to finish up today hopefully and then on to painting this weekend too. I am thinking about working some clay pieces in with some paintings that I am considering doing this semester.
I hope you like the photos of Jack. I think I am going to incorporate the dogs into my work more this semester also. I really do mean it when I say they are some of inspiration. My good buddies!
