End of Semester 1

First Project

I for whatever reasons don't have pictures of my other finished projects so this is the best i can do for now. my other projects that I have finished are a coil pot and a candle holder. the candle holder I think is still being fired (or something) and the coil pot i took home before I could upload a good picture of it (oops). I'll upload pictures when I have them.

This is from a blog post that I missed:

• leather hard- clay which has dried sufficiently to be stiff, but is still damp enough to be joined to other pieces.
• bone dry- clay that has completely dried out has not yet been fired. clay forms are most fragile at this stage.

It is important to connect and trim pieces on the wheel when they are leather hard because then they won't collapse while you are working on it.
