Weeks 3 and 4

Things got super crazy and I didn't get around to posting a new blog post last weekend, so I'll try to catch up now.

Finished my 100 cylinders in ceramics, however they looked horrible. I did make progress though. Here's some pictures.

Around #89, I figured out that because I'm left handed, I was alot more comfortable throwing with the wheel spinning the opposite way from which I had been having it before. After this, James assigned us 100 cups, that have to have trimmed feet, and he wants matching sets of 4-6. I've got 15 thrown, and 5 or those are trimmed, but I haven't taken pictures of those yet, as my phone battery lay dying.

Ok next.....Sculpture. We had our critique this week. I didn't completely finish my piece, which is pretty unacceptable. I don't necessarily think it was a time management issue, but more like I bit off more than I could chew for my skill level. Our concept for our next project is Green Machine. Hmmmm.... so far, I'm drawing a blank. But here are pictures of the last few stages of my piece before critique and pictures of it set up at critique.
