the bisque is too hot, so we will extend projects for first quarter to Wednesday.

if glaze is in a little bucket - it's expensive - use it for details.

Note the dark brick color is matt!!!

Where does the scrap glaze come from?

what is the water cycle in the ceramics room?

i.e. how do we keep clay from going down the drain?

Why is the bucket in the glaze room different than the other ones?

the last bisque for THIS quarter will be on Tuesday - out Thursday so it can be glazed Thursday and Friday!

all projects start as cylinders.

after today's demo write on your learning log what has to be done with the rib tool to make a cylinder into a bowl.

Also note - all projects that are due by the end of the quarter need to be on the bisque shelf by Friday or they won't be done in time

Start collecting your paperwork. What will be due on the 29th?

Advanced - what needs to be on your website?

thoughts about glazing ...

glazes can be either transparent, translucent or opaque

they can be shiney or matt

sometimes particles float in the glaze layer to give a sense of depth.

there is a layer between the clay and glaze where the two are actually mixed.

sometimes the clay body and glaze shrink at different rates and cause 'crazing' - tiny cracks.

rule of thumb - complex shape / simple glaze
simple shape / complex glaze
