This short of a week was pretty much an experimental week for me. On Wednesday I watched a few YouTube videos on how to make a double walled bowl, it's pretty simple it's just I have to work on closing the two walls together. On Thursday I was successful and made two doubled walled bowls, the base is a little thin though. On Friday (today) I had to throw out one of my doubled walled bowls, it didn't turn out right and it was very uneven. I then started looking through the magazines, and decided to look at the cookie cutters and found a small heart cutter and put the imprints on the outer wall to carve once I get back from break.
Wednesday and Thursday there was no school due to flooding and what not, so that was a good sleep in date. On Friday when we got back to school, I footed my lidded project which was just wet enough to foot, I did have to use a wet sponge to get it a little wet so I don't mess up, but it made it on the bisque shelf so that's good :). On Monday I unloaded the bisque kiln. On Monday and Tuesday, I've been taking the time and glazing the projects that are due soon and making sure they look amazing! That's it for this week, nothing else really.
This week it looks like I didn't do a lot but a lot of it was actually attempting to make a doubled walled project which I was actually really successful in making! Here the break down of the week;
Thursday, December 3rd- I finished cutting the circles out in my doubled walled project and added a few carved designs to make sure it isn't boring as well as attempted to throw a quick project but it didn't work out as well. Friday, December 4th- I put my doubled walled project on the cart to bisque and added some finishing touches as well as glazed. Monday, December 7th- I made a wheel altered bowl as my extra project. Tuesday, December 8th- I made my lidded project and helped out the sub, as well as helped a student foot. :) Feel Better Mrs. H! This week I have been playing around more with the double sided project and I successfully have made it! Today during class I cut out some circles and now I am planning on carving some designs around it as well. I did make a lidded project but when I got back from Thanksgiving Break I must have not sealed the bag that tight because my project was too hard to foot, so I am hopefully going to finish my double sided at lunch and make my lidded as well as my extra credit project for this semester then I will be all set! Yesterday (Tuesday) I was not in class because the roads were too icy so that caused me to be late and only was in class for cleaning. I will post a picture of my double sided once it comes out of the bisque kiln.
