Bisque will be out on Friday.
Review yesterday's notes. Please check 'documents' tab for things like instructions and art elements... Comments on the website are encouraged - they help me know what I need to do a better job on! Thanks Justin! The glaze is out. The bisque is done, but won't be unloaded until this afternoon because it is very hot. NOTICE THAT SOME PROJECTS HAVE BLOWN UP BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO UNEVEN IN THICKNESS !!!!
We will clean up fifteen minutes before the bell - show me your bat, ring, bucket and clean tools - STAY BY YOUR CLEAN WHEEL UNTIL I COME BY. Thursday 10/14/ I will be here until 3:30 if you want to work on projects. Time for everyone to be on the wheel - Quarter ends on November first - that's two weeks to finsih all first quarter projects!!!!! Purple glaze by permision only - only for small details only - very expensive!! Remember you have to turn in all your notes in a packet for each quarter. Make sure you are adding water to the glazes to keep them the correct consistency!!! There are sives over the sink in the dragon and elf cabinets. Wash off the gosh darn base Make sure you are turning in your projects! Advanced studetns I will be checking websites on Friday afternoon. follow this link or look on the documents page - footing demo
Today period 3 & 4 – wheel demo. Glaze kiln is out, bisque out tomorrow ...
Tuesday – footing demo all periods. I would like advanced students to also watch this to make sure you’ve got it right. Projects must be footed for credit. Remember extra credit can be earned – but only if all the assigned projects are completed and turned in. You should have three graded projects turned in this week or you risk losing credit for them – Beginners - the coil is overdue and the soft slab is due. Advanced – you need the tall, wide and set of three by now. You also need a blog update for each week. Finished assignments can be graded from your blog – but I must see the project in real life so we can discuss it. I will not just ‘go looking’ for what is up for grading – you must see me, as always. J I have added a new document - in progress - the clay cycle in the classroom.
THE SINKS DO NOT DRAIN - ONLY PUT WATER IN THE BUCKETS AND EMPTY THEM OUTSIDE!!!! DO NOT LET THE SINKS FILL UP THE WATER DRAINS INTO THE WALLS!!!!In general-
YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE ASSIGNMENTS TO WORK ON. Please be thoughtful of the clay cycle. Third period advanced students please put the clay from the table in the mixer. Four period might need to get some clay from the back. Do not tear the boxes. They need to be folded up and put on a shelf in the back. Fifth and sixth period students if you are ready - get on the wheel - get help from an advanced student if you like. Third and fourth period please keep working on your firm slab and choice projects. All students need to do at least one choice this quarter - it can be any technique we have learned. Make sure you are keeping notes. Please clean up - otherwise we will have another clean up party! Sixth period please make sure the clay mixer is closed at the end of the day. Thinking of all ofyou! check the documents page for a wheel demo
Advanced students - plate demo pd. 3&4 on Wednesday. Period 5& 6 on Friday. We will sart out with a quick - 7 1/2 min clean before we work -
period three please sweep before things get wet period four wash rings, bats, buckets and wheels. Please also some of you need to wash the back door and the clay mixer! Advanced students pay attention to the wheel. Period five - wash cupboards and tools by the sinks - wash out sinks and drain buckets. Period six - organize and wash out tools boxes. wash counters and rinse sponges. News! - glaze out tomorrow.... Bisque will run today on a two day 'candle' and be out on Friday This will allow for slightly damp 'greenware' to go in the kiln. I will be gone on Thursday - keep working! Wheel demo on Wednesday for period 5 & 6 Wheel demo on Friday for period 3 & 4 |
