Dear Class
This week is the last week to construct a project using wet clay. By Friday, March 30th, all construction with new clay should be finished. Please understand that you may still work on sculptures after this date as long as you are refining and putting on finishing touches only. If you are not finished building your work by Friday, chances are you will not finish in time for the end of the semester.

Class 16_Homework_March 22nd
Dear Class
Sculpture on the Wheel
Today I did the last demonstration of the semester and showed you how to make a human-like head sing a thrown cylinder. This is the last building technique I would like to see you attempt. Some of you, if have not gotten your final work underway, will not have the time to attempt this technique. Others of you who are caught up with work will have the opportunity.
Next week is the last wet day. By next Friday, March 30th, all construction with new clay should be finished. Please understand that you may still work on sculptures after this date as long as you are refining and putting on finishing touches only. If you are not fiished building your work by Friday, chances are you will not finish in time for the end of the semester.
I did not see any glazes today. Please email your glaze selections to me so that I know you have done this work. Recipes or pictures of recipes are fine. Check the class 15 blog for details of what glazes you should have selected for your final work.

Please get all of your work finished and fired as soon as possible.

Class 15_Homework_March 19th
Dear Students
Next week is the last wet day. Please be sure that you work doubly hard until then so that all your work is composed and constructed by next Friday, including final pieces.

Last Wet Day
There will be one more demo on Wednesday. This will be the face demo. You should have enough building skills now to very easily integrate this technique into whatever you know how to do. I think you can all see that building in this way [throwing, stacking, encrusting, altering thrown forms] is a very quick method. You can prep for the end by making pieces you can use eventually instead of doing everything at once. Please see me if you do not understand what I have explained.
Glaze Prep You need to have glazes picked out for final. I would like to see a list of what you will use by this Wednesday. Glazes that are out on the shelves are fair game. Pick at least 5 glazes to use for your forms. Be sure the list you create incorporates all of the following, at least one for each distinction:
*light value
*medium value
*dark value
*glossy
*satin
*texture
Bisque Firing
Anything that is finished and dry needs to go out on the firing shelves as soon as possible. If you can plan to have everything but your finals and what we do on Friday out on Sunday, you will be sitting pretty for glaze time, yay!

Please have another draft of your working statement to me on Wednesday via email.
