This week I've been working on my vase and making planters. my vase was hard to fit because it got a little dry and the top chipped off some. I also struggled with making bigger planters. I made three. I learned by the third one to actually pull out the lip at the bottom not push it in and make my holder part smaller.
This week I worked on my mug and my vase. my mug is great, it's getting fired as I type. My vase on the other hand, unfortunately died in a footing accident. A gaint one. It was not stuck enough on the wheel and came off and got a bunch of dents in it. I tried to fix it but it didn't work. I did learn to get the lip wet and suction a piece to the wheel which will be helpful next time with a top heavy project.
I made the mug on Thursday of last week and added the handle on Friday. On Monday I added the flower but I'm not sure how it's going to hold up yet because it's hard to see if the slip and score took at that angle.
These are 4 of my first simple projects in the first part of intermediate ceramics. They aren't fancy and I made them pretty quick. 2 were made last week and 2 this week. The footing on one of my tall projects was really thin, but it came out fine with the firing. I'm glazing next week and starting my mug.
