Week 10 Reflection:
I made two good bowls last week so I tried to trim them this week. It did not work out well. I struggles to keep my hands steady and was accidentially gouging the clay, and taking way too much off in inconsistent patterns and amounts. I also realized that I've been making my pots wayyyyyyy too thick, I need to slim them down a tad. After attempting to trim those two bowls I was able to make a couple more later in the week to set up over the weekend and carve early next week. Also, I messed up one of the pots I attempted to trim to bad I ended up burnishing the entire outside of it to smooth it out as much as possible, as well as scalloping the wonky top to make it at least look cohesive, but I've definetly learned from some of those mistakes and won't repreat them next week.
