Oh shit!

Today I had an "Oh Shit" moment. When I was told that portfolios are due, completed/photographed/edited/and stuff... At the end of April... I felt sick to my stomach. I have so much stuff to do!

I tried to make progress on glazing my pots today, but that failed miserably upon the glaze taking forever to dry... So take two next class...


UGH!

Robotics

Over spring break we had our 2011 robotics competition at the memorial coliseum, there were 50+ teams, and their robots. I was the driver for our robot, and we did quite well in the early matches, until we started having mechanical problems, such as the chain stretching and the claw of the robot bending upon a brutal impact from another team. Although we did not win, it was a successful season, and a fun competition.

Teapot!

I have decided to throw a teapot. The style I am going after is a single/personalized teapot. A skinny tall form. A teapot that you would use on a chilly morning in the winter. So the form must make you feel warm...

Liquor Bottle

This week I have my liquor bottle in the greenware stage. I am planning on making more of them since the first one will be too small after shrinking in the kiln. I intend to make a larger more consistent (curved/arched) looking bottle.
Any thoughts?
