Week Five

Week 5 reflection:

I started this week with wacthing multiple video tutorials and then trying out the processes on the wheel. I began by practicing this new technique, I would get it started pretty well, but then I would always pinch my fingers together too much, causing the walls to thin out wayyy too much, and then centrifugal force would just spin it out, and my bowl would be no longer. I've been throwing almost every class period I have to do this but honestly haven't really been saving any of my pieces because they aren't perfect and I just want to keep smashing and practicing again. A goal for next week is to make at least two bowls that I want to keep, fire, glaze, and finish. Another thing I need to work on is taking pictures of my work, my hands are always so gross pictures are the last thing I think of but are very necessary in documenting this process.
