In Pottery this week:
Group A finished rolling slabs for their asymmetrical slab container. While they are drying to leather hard you should glaze your Ocarina, don't forget your glaze plan. After your Ocarina is glazed you will connect your slabs then begin burnishing.
Group B is still on the wheel, I demonstrated how to trim the thrown pottery, this is the last step! Once you have a cylinder and a bowl thrown you can trim them when they are leather hard then complete a self-assessment form and you are done!
Group C&D are working on your coil pot. Remember this is a theme pot and you should have coils rolled and arranged to look like subjects from your theme. These are part of the structure of your pot so they are built into the coils not just placed on top of the coils.
On Friday we are having a glaze "show and tell" if your ocarina is out of the kiln you will show the class how it turned out and tell the class what glazes you used, any special application techniques, and any surprises that occured. You will need your glaze plan for this.
