Nunn's Reflection #2

    In the second week of the Senior Project I performed much better I felt than in the last. I started creating early making two new vases. Then transitioning I created three bowls and three other vases this week. For the large vases, I did not add anything extra as I did not see the need.  As the week got to Wednesday I stopped making pieces so I would have enough time to finish everything. I started trimming much much more. I trimmed the bottoms of the vases, but looking back I may not have attached them well enough. Hopefully, this doesn't become an issue. 

Tuesday is when I started creating my website which will be ready either Wednesday at the earliest or Thursday which is more likely as I need more time to glaze. Here I started talking about how I created each piece and my inspiration. I use lots of photos to showcase my pieces. I still need the photos of my finished pieces as I do not have enough photos of my finished pieces to really have a website to show off my work. Thursday this will have changed and I'll have more than enough to show. 

    It is insane that now with only two days of Senior Project left and only like 6 days till graduation, looking at it from that point of view.  I am most proud of creating my vases during this SP especially the mold-built ones not just the coil ones. As for the mold-built vases, I created them mostly on my own without much of Kate's help. I can't wait to show my creations at express fest Wednesday.

 Monday, I created another vase. This one much smaller compared to my first two almost half the size. I made the top to sprout out like a flower as it adds to the piece. I started to carve out one of my bowls to prepare it for glazing. I started smoothing out all of my pieces with a smooth slab tool. I have also started decorating my straight vases. I am using the kiln for a majority of my pieces now so I can start glazing. Tomorrow I will help kate out with the art show a bit. Hours Done Today: 5 Total Hours Done: 30

 Today I worked a lot on my vase; I finishing coiling around 11, I started working at 8:30. Than at 11:40 I took a break for lunch. In the 40 minutes I continued to work on my bowl sculpting it as I had prior throughout the first couple of hours working in the studio leaving it in the sun to dry and harden. I than created designs and added a pre glaze that will add contrast. I created a staff like design for the vase where the centered shaft has two snakelike coils wrapped around the main vase. Tomorrow I will finish designing the vase and than let it dry to put it in the kiln m. Hours done today: 6 Total Hours done: 8

 Thursday, I did a very similar routine as I did yesterday. I worked in the studio for about an two hours. During which I trimmed may vases more but also started pre-glazing them. Pre-glaze, is basically paint that can be put on clay pieces before they are bisque wear. This will add contrast to the glaze you pick to fire again after bisque wear. My largest mold-built vase that had the mountain range I colored I believe black than the sun I colored orange as I did not like the red/orange mix. Than finally I painted the clouds blue to add contrast though looking back I wish I painted the clay surrounding the clouds and sun blue to create a sky like image. Friday I’ll be leaving for my sisters graduation but i will be working nonstop during the travel to get the necessary hours so I don’t need to be in the studio more than 3 hours either Monday or Tuesday.  Total Hours Today: 3:30 Total Hours Done: 41
