Pottery Wheel Projects

It is freezing cold today and one of my teachers did not show up for class. I was glad that the classroom was opened up for us to work independently because I had brought 25 pounds of clay to class so that I could use the wheel.

I pulled up about a pound of clay into a vase shape that I plan to carve once it becomes leather hard. I want something other than bowls and cups. I also had a lage saucer made until I tried to cut it from the bat. I was not too focused on how shallow the saucer was and I ruined it with the wire.

Some of my other projects came out of the kiln, but I was not satisfied with them. There were students in my class who thought that I had done a great job.

The result was just okay to me. I am not a perfectionist, but I want my work to look better than "home made".

I have to go disconnect my water hoses from the house since the temperature is going to be below freezing for a couple of days in a row. I don't want to deal with frozen pipes.

Enjoy your evening.

I keep seeing that wOrd archaic arc welding Danget! See, even my autocorrect is like “yeah, I can’t help you with that one.” Guess that’s why I grew up in LA where there’s only two seasons, warm and slightly cooler—perfect!

We were in the UK the past 4 months, my goodness, it’s cold there and the sun doesn’t shine! They mentioned that wOrd, too, arson antsy (you know) so we came down to Greece—this is more like it.

Stay warm @jluvstofly, I don’t even own a jacket. Should I need to invest in one, I’ll just go a little further south. 😉

It must be nice to live in a tropical climate where you don't need a jacket. 😊 I can only dream.
