When I got to slocumb today I was genuinely happy and relaxed, so I decided why not step out of my comfort zone and make a big bowl. I grabbed a big hunk of clay, wedged it to get all the air bubbles out, and started throwing. I ended up making a reall big salad bowl, which I’m proud of because it’s he biggest bowl I’ve ever mad. After that I threw a couple of smaller cereal bowls and cleaned up. After my game today I’ll go in at night and make a few more pieces. My goal for next week is to have around 35 to 40 pieces to sell.

Senior project day 1

4/29/19 5:15 PM Woke up at 7 thinking I had to go to class only to remember I couldn’t sleep in another hour or so. I put on some sweatpants and walked down to slocumb hall to make some pottery. Each day I go down I’m going to focus on making a set of mugs or bowls. Today I made a set of 3 mugs and I also made two bowls. I’ll be in at night actually throwing and making pottery and during the day I’ll be trimming. It’s the most quiet at night, allowing me to really focus. Total hours=5

Blog day 15

5/18/19 10:15 PM   Today I woke up early and went into slocumb to Finnish some trimming. I got 4 mugs trimmed, and trimmed a big bowl I made for my mom and a vase. I spent some time watching videos on pottery and how to make certain shapes. I spend my last hour putting handles on my mugs, which has been a struggle for me since I started making pottery, but my technique and skill has improved so much in the last 2 weeks. Once this last batch of pottery is fired it will be for sale at express fest. Daily hours=3 Total hours= 63
