The end of the end of the year and near and ceramics is coming to an end. Hopefully I can make a few more projects before the end of the year.

Please look over my blog. I've been having problems publishing it, but if you look over everything I have been posting regularly. I'm in the process of making a hand and wheel project.
This week I made a pitcher. I'm hoping it isn't too heavy when there's liquid inside.
If you can check my theme blog I will have some new updates on possible ideas and other stuff.
This has been a slow week. I have been trying to make things on the wheel, but I haven't been having much luck. My biggest problem is getting rips in the base of my projects. Most of the time it think it's because the mixer clay is a bit too wet. I was however able to glaze my large bowl and salsa try and I hope to have those on my website soon.
This week I was able to make several projects. I have been talking about making a chips and salsa try (planter) for a while, but have never been able to make a base large enough, I think I have it this time though. I also made a large bowl. I have uploaded a choice project to my Finished projects tab.
I should get a plate out of the kiln today, which I hope to have online my the end of the weekend. I am also in the process of glazing my final vase for my set of three, so that should be out the first week we are back from spring break. I also made a choice project on the wheel.
I haven't been as productive as I would like in ceramics this first quarter. The main reason for this is that I have had a lot of back pain restricing my use of the wheel. Luckily I have started physical therapy, easing most of the pain and allowing me to throw and foot more comfortably. I have also had some difficulty setting up my website. I have had my first three projects posted online for about a month and they have been entered as zero's in the gradebook. These projects include my two soup bowls and tall project. They are under the tab 'Finished Projects'. I also have several pictures up in the gallery. I should also be getting a plate out of the glaze on Friday, which will be my wide project. I am also in the process of glazing my final vase for my set of three. There is also a choice project that has just been placed in the bisque this week and will not be out until after break. My job for this quarter has been to sweep and dust pan. Compared to other jobs I have had in the past I have enjoyed this one, but as more new students get on the wheel it becomes more difficult because they stay on the wheel past clean up.
This week I made my thrid vase for my set of three. I also got a plate out of the bisque, but I am waiting for the burnt orange glaze to be finished.
