Fall Week 15

This is it. We’ve finally reached the end of the semester. How did it go by this fast? Honestly, I’m glad its over. It’s been a pretty rough one. But look at all that I have made! For the final proper work week of class, we took photos of all that we created throughout the

Fall Week 13

The multiples project has been going slow but steady. I managed to pump out several molds. After the first attempt didn’t go over well, I had to put them in fully and carve them out underneath. I was hoping to make more of them, but after sustaining a very nasty injury to my finger, I

Fall Week 12

With the first part of the mold done, it was time to move on to the second part of it. After popping off the clay base, there was a nice plaster mold in place. Sticker damage aside, it turned out really well. The second phase was exactly like the first, with me having to build

Fall Week 11

Last week we focused on mold making. Tuesday we basically created our mold bases and placed our objects in them. I chose a plastic oil drum for mine. Then on Thursday it was time to cast the plaster molds. All the short boards were taken, so I had to improvise with a long board and

Fall Week 10

This week we officially start the mold making project. Lastt week we had critique over our Mixed Media, and I was pleasently surprised with the feedback I recieved. Anyway, I was hoping to maybe cast one of many plastic dinosaur toys I had for the mold making prokject, but I heard that it would be

Fall Week 7

Last week I finished slipping my No Base project, and it is currently in the kiln. Now that it is done for now, I could focus more on the next assignment, which is the Mixed Media one. The focus has to do with memory, so I decided to do a memory centering around me drawing

Fall Week 6

I unfortunately forgot to do the last blog since it slipped through my mind, but to summarize, the No Base project went by with some minor hiccups. The first was trying to get the pieces placed in, as they ended up hardening a bit. Which I guess was inevitable, since they were the first pieces

Fall Week 4

Last week was when we had our critique, as well as our last week working on the wheel. I only managed to get 2 goblets done, but with the feedback I received, it seemed that they went rather well. I was also given the opportunity to make a few more, so I might do that

Fall Week 3

Working on the wheel has been really tough. Especially when you have a project that’s due real soon. I’ve been practicing with cylinders, and there are times where I feel like I am getting the hang of it, but then something happens, like the cylinder looks lop-sided or it gets too thin and falls apart
