Well, winter break is over. Time to head back to school.... and start counting down the days until spring break!!! Today I was cleaning out my cabinet and was surprised to find a concentration project that I had completely forgotten about. WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE. I was going to photograph it and put it up with this blog but unforntunately it had to go straight into the kiln.... So I will upload a picture of it later. Today I succeeded in making a basket using a plaster mold and the handheld extruder. It turned out pretty well and it looks a little more basket-y than some of the other stuff I've been doing.
Today I also loaded two of my glazed baskets into the kiln. These were the really fragile ones and I'm just crossing my fingers that they survive in the kiln....
So now for the million-dollar question....... WHAT'S NEXT?!
Well just today I sent an email to Marion Pollmann (see 2 blogs down) asking her about some of her techniques. Hopefully she will get back to me by next class because I would love to start trying to create a piece similar to her work. Something like this:
That's all for now. Bye.
Yay for surprises! I really like the picture of the plate you have right up thereeeeee
