So this was initially supposed to be my lidded project but the lid didn't quite work out and I ended up scrapping it. So I decided I was just going to fire the bottom part anyways. For the glaze, I figured I'd try something new so I went with a stain this time. I used a sponge to spread the stain around instead of just painting on the design. I like how the blue came out but the black is, admittedly, a little disappointing. But others seems to like it so I suppose it's not all bad.

Helping my man Beau with his footing. Aside from loading and unloading kilns, I spend the greater majority of my time helping others improve their techniques by teaching them some of my own.

This is what I spend the majority of my time in this class doing: loading and unloading the kilns.

For this bowl I chose to use a much larger amount of clay than I'm used to. It turned out pretty well for my first time. The base was a little thin but it turned out alright. For the glaze, I used a new technique called "sponging" and taught the technique to Alec. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, despite it running a lot and not turning out sponge-y. I stole this bowl from Alec therefore I am a liar and I have a small dick.

Teaching my home boy Colby how to grind excess glaze off so he doesn't slice himself open again trying to pick off with his finger.
