I got back to school today around 8:30. Cleaned my room, showered and headed into Slocumb around 9:30. I had about 5 bowls I need to trim from Friday and Saturday. I trimmed those, and worked on ordering a proctor academy stamp to stamp into my pieces. I messed up one of my bowls only to realize the mistake made the price more unique and interesting, which I found funny. Some of my best artwork is a result of a mistake. I then went in at 7:30 after my baseball game to blow off some steam and go into my quiet place. I made 4 mugs that are smaller then what I normally make. Throwing tonight really helped me relax, and focus. Pottery had always been a happy place for me where I can separate myself from the rest of the world and just focus on what I truly passionate about.

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
