Business

Wow my life is so busy. Ski team is ending and lacrosse is starting up. Porfolios are coming up. But im soooo bummed. We were going to have a wood firing next weekend.... and now we are not. I had all my stuff ready to go. i finally made a lidded casserole. I did not like making it. but yet it looks good. oh dear...

New Ideas

 All i have been doing lately are the same looking casserole dishes. So this week i have been working on pieces that have the same idea, but look different. And this week Whitney told us that there is a wood firing at the end of the month. Im so exited! I have so many peices that need to be fired, so at least half of my peices will (hopefully) being in this upcoming firing. I am now taking advanced ceramics. This is my first time ever taking that class.

Nonesuch

Well i just made a awesome new dish that has pull out peices. I am going to add some texture and im exited to see how it turns out! My next peice that i want to work on is a lidded dish. With very rounds sides and some sort of round and knobish handles. My set of casserole dishes are fired. One of the pieces has weakish handles, so that one will just occupy the shelf. I really need to start up on glazing and photographing. Time is just flying by. Between all the song writing and such with Rhombii, skiing, and school, I dont have the much free time. Here are some new ideas that i wanna tryout.

Back From Break

Getting back into art, from winter break, is tough but im starting to get back into the flow of things. We have three projects due at the end of the month! I threw a bowl today that i am going to add texture too. I threw it thicker than normal so i can carve into it. also my square casserole dish was fired. I need to start making lids, but i have never done it before, so it will be a challenge.

Scholastic Photos

Here are three of the of the four projects i submitted to scholastic. It took me alot longer to upload them than i thought, but it hopefully i get some awards! Im also working on putting up a gallery on the blog... but im technology challenged so its slow going. This week i put handles on the three casserole dishes i did last week. I want to glaze them with falls creek shino.

Christmas

Christmas time is coming and my time for making presents is running out. I am making casserole dishes for christmas presents. So far i have made three (which is sadly probably im going to make). I also made a square casserole dish because my knob handled one broke! It all good though. Im not quite sure what glazes im going to use. I think i will glaze the christmas presents with falls creek shino. And also here is me putting up the art poster and empty bowls poster in river grove elementary.

Pressing On

So now that i have finished all of my project for december, i have been working on photographing and glazing. I made a new glaze called mellow yellow. I plan on using it on my round, tunnel-bottom dish. My knob handled dish just went in three kiln, but i still need to figure out what im going to glaze it with. Also, scholastic is coming up! So i need to edit and re-photograph some stuff (becuase i forgot to put a penny in the picture to show scale). But for glazing, i want to use earthy, warm, and comforting colors. Like red, orange, yellow, brown, and black. Here are some pots that i like the glaze of.
