Since today is Halloween and all the other students want to go home to get prepared for it, the teacher let us go 30 min later. Happy Halloween and i hope that everyone will enjoy it.
Now that i have a big bowl all what i need is a small one but different than the big bowl. When i walked into the class room today i already had an idea in my mind of how to decorate the bowl. this picture is the result of my work of today.
This picture shows how it could be a mess while you are working with the clay.
Today our teacher gave us a theory lesson about glazing the clay. There is five ways to glaze the clay:
Dip pots into glaze: it is one of the fastest way of glazing the clay.
Pour clay in and on: to glaze the interior of the pot all what you have to do is just poured the fluid glaze into a pot and left it for about three seconds, then poured back into the original glaze bucket. The same method could be apply to the surface, all what you have to do is to pour the clay on the surface.
Today when i went to my class i had this idea of making me a big bowl for salad since i bricked it mine the night before. Fore a reason that i don't know i couldn't focus on what i'm doing, after making the bowl i dropped it on the floor. And of course i had to make another one since i don't want to give up. My day star wasn't that great but i finished by making me a new salad bowl and i'm planning to glaze it turquoise.
Since my class was cancelled today i decided to search for blogs about clay. All the blogs that i found were for professional people but it was good to see other artist job and their experiences with new techniques to make a unique work that express themselves. For people who are interested in clay art there is a website where you can go and get more information and if you have your own experience you can share it with them. http://ncclayclub.blogspot.com/
