Bowls, bowls, bowls.

The bowls are complete! All that's left is to deliver them to my project participants. I am giving them to individuals with the instructions of taking 3-5 pictures of how they're using it (or not using it). I'm interested to see the different levels of creativity from everyone!
Before glazing.
I struggled between making the bowls all the same color and making them different, but considering the endless amount of color choices, I decided to go with different glazes. 
Unloading the kiln is just like Christmas. I was so excited to see how they turned out. And fortunately, only one casualty!

2 weeks to go!

I can't believe that this semester is already coming to an end. While I'm sad to see it go, I'm already excited about ceramics (and drawing!) next semester.

For this week, glazing glazing glazing. I will hopefully finish my bowls this week and present them to my participants for the next project. I will have to speed the process of people taking pictures a little, because of time restraints, but I'm hoping that the final project will still yield my hoped results.

I've already been thinking of what I want to focus on next semester. I definitely want to keep working on the extension of my duality project by continually adding more people. I also plan on making more spools over the break and into next semester. I found that there were a lot of options that I could do with the installation of my spools and I would definitely like to explore more of them--possibly doing a spacelab show. In addition to those projects, definitely more practice on the wheel! I feel that I got a good start this semester. Final pictures will be posted!
