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.
Sculpture on the Wheel
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.
Sincerely,
Professor Urrutia
