post snow day

I am currently working on the covered container project.  When doing this project it is important to cover the hump mold completely, make sure to remove the poject from the hump mold when leather hard, and to cut the lid at an angle so that it does not fall through.  In this project I am focusing on the element of balance and emphasis with both stamps and carvings.

3rd quarter project

You should take clay off the board when the clay is leather hard.
The element of design and priciple I focused on during my cup project was balance as I strived to make each cup the same with a symetrical silhlotte.
I learned how to better control the clay on the wheel through this project.
I would have probably added line desgins to my cups if I had time to make them more interesting.
