Starting

Here is a platter that i have started. It is for my concentration. It is going to have knob handles and some sort of texture. Yesterday I loaded the wood kiln. I was going to have my layered platter go in the firing, but it broke in the bisque kiln. So just my basket handled casserole dish and a large bowl went in. I need to remake the layered platter, which wont be hard, its just kindof a bummer. But i have learned from the past not to get too attached to your projects because there is always a chance they will break (especially when dealing with clay). But all in all, im just pumped for starting my concentration and glad i have a head start. Since Amy will be gone for second semester, there wont be any more wood firings. So i will be making some glazes. I want to use glazes that have tan, orange, red, brown, and black in them.
