When certain textures work better, what we're looking for to know the timing is good, what tools work better than others, carving technique Week 3: Altering Altered rims, altering cylinders halfway and then shaping to see how they change (we can focus on doing this just with the form but for my class we also added slip, added texture and then continued to shape the pot), wrapping pots with a string and then continuing to shape, changing wheel direction mid throw to see how it changes the form/texture, shaping narrow spiral cylinders, intentionally collapsing cylinders in areas Week 4: Piercing Students will focus on lanterns, collandars/berry bowls Week 5: Slip & Underglaze Students will focus on using slip and underglaze to bring texture to their pieces and how to use oxides and glazes to accentuate those textures. Week 6: Glazing Overview: All work must be glazed for final firing by the end of class*. DOUBLE CHECK all work to make sure there is NO GLAZE on the bottoms.
