So I recently made mugs! I could make mugs all day long. I really enjoyed making mugs for class. I can't wait to glaze them. Here they are for now.


We also made altered cylinders which is the same thing as a vase.  I like throwing vases too. Here are all my vases, as well as one of my decorated cylinders.


I have now moved on to bowls and plates. Everyone talks about how much they love trimming, guess I am the odd one out. Right now I find it tedious and time consuming. Maybe once I really get the nack for it I will enjoy it but until then, no thanks.



However I currently can throw a bowl in about 10 mins or less. That is impressive for me.

After a wonderful short two weeks, I am yet again back in the ceramic studio for class. As if I didn't have enough trouble making cylinders at the end of the semester last time, we are starting with cylinders. I feel like it is a big dejavu moment. This time however they need to be taller and of course straighter and better and all together awesomeness!

To make my inability to make awesome cylinders worse, I actually missed two days of class due to a nasty bacterial infection. Not fun. All I could think about was how I wasn't going to be able to catch up, how I would never be able reach 8 inches of greatness let alone the 10 inches I need on some of them. However after going back on thursday last week, I some how managed to rock it! I created four cylinders all over 8 inches! It must have been all the prayers I made begging to be able to do it. Now that I have cylinders down I am moving on....

Tada! 10 cylinders 6 of which are 8 inches and the other 4 are 10 inches!
