So, I spent most of this week looking and sounding a little like Darth Vader. I finally got to make my own sculptural porcelain, which I am so excited to begin making beautiful pieces out of! Not only will I sculpt out of it but I will also check out its throwing quality J I really do hope it is as nice, if not better, than my white stoneware. We shall seeJ
I also spent the week prepping and helping with the first Dirt Bags show of the semester. I will be honest, at first there were worries that we would not have anything besides a couple of pieces to put in the show due to it being so early in the semester. Yet, I think we pulled it off! Way to go Dirt Bags!!
To finish the week out, I have begun experimentation with mason stain application and multi-cone firing. This is going to be a great practice step before I delve into my engobe project. So far, I have the two different cone base dry mixes ready and have taken inventory of the fifteen lucky mason stains that will be included in the experiment. This coming week, I will be measure mixing together and beginning application J I really feel that they will turn out nicely!
Below are some photos for your viewing pleasure-don’t let my “Darth Vader” one scare you! Haha!
