complete with the record of all your grades for the quarter.

all projects for the quarter must be complete by April 3

First two projects and the Frankenpot of fourth quarter due no later than April 24th. (remember we have a week off for spring break...) which means they need to be thrown BEFORE spring break if they are to get done on time.)

how do you dry a large project?

3/24/2015

Pd one sludge! Pd 5 & 6 handout last week's work logs!

How do you connect clay?

How do you control the drying?

How can you use coils or slabs to fix things?

Can you add decorations to your Franken-pot?

How will the Franken-pot be graded?

slip and score
put it in a bag day one, out of bag day two, in locker day three, day four on cart
you can fill in cracks and holes with coils or slabs - make sure you dry it correctly
yes - carving will help lighten up a heavy project
it is graded on completion and if it stays together

how to make a frankenpot

check out the pics here

every team gets the same amount of clay - you will get a precut 2" cube from Ms. H. Using an unregulated amount of clay will disqualify your team.

one person throws the base, the other two throw cylinders without a base. Use the calipers to make sure they are the same circumferences.

keep the pieces leather soft until they are ready to put together. make sure you connect them well.

All work in wet clay for Frankenpots needs to be done by Thursday.

Note pd. 5 - I have reserved wheels for teams
also pd. 5 - I will ask Team Shimpos amd IDC to hlep get boxes to the liberary at the beginning of class
