I will be giving you a packet to turn in by next Thursday.
Don't 'wing it' have a plan |
Beginners -- Have you been on the wheel yet? | Intermediate - have you made your vocab page? | Advanced - |
you should have the first two - pinch project and group coil for newbes - turned in - and the third ready by Friday. in a week the first project will be late and worth less points.
You should be finishing you fourth project this week and starting on the wheel.
Remember you all have a choice project! This can be a pinch, coil, soft slab or firm slab. For ideas you can look on the 'net.
To ensure an A you need to do extra credit.
Look now at your progress scale and see how you are doing. You need to be finished with this sheet by the end of the quarter which is OCT 27!
To use a wheel YOU MUST sign up for a wheel in the notebook in the front of the class.
It goes by day, pd. 3,4,5,-- then to the next day in the same order. Make sure you are on the correct page and that the page has been "authorized"
You can sign up ONE day in advance. you must sign up YOURSELF with your Name not just initials. there is a second line so you can be on the "wait list". You cannot use the same wheel every day all week. Some of the classes are very large. NO just "watching" or sitting at a wheel. Not a place for conversations.
You may not hold the wheel while you do something else. IF you sign up you must be on it with in 4 minutes of the start of work time or the second person will get the wheel.
After you clean up put a "C" by your name on the wheel sheet if someone else is taking over for you. DO NOT leave your mess for the 'next' person.
Three reasons for cutting a foot ring
makes the base the same width as the rest of the project
Gives it a sense of finish - lifts it gracefully off the table
makes an area of no glaze so it can be easily fired.
When you foot -
begin from the outside - work from general to specific so you get the foot in the correct place.
What are the steps of throwing? | intermediate and advanced - |
check your progress scale...
Notice - - there is a choice project. this can be any project type you have done before - look on the internet for ideas of pinch, coil and slab projects. (Adv and Int you should be looking for things to put on your interest page - things that you might could make yourself!)
Level 2 question - what will my choice project be?
Put my name & pd. # on the base of all my projects.
Put my name on my yellow sheet. Do the yellow sheet notes at the BEGINNING of each class period and PUT MY NAME on it. also my alpha number -- please and thank you.
Wash the glaze carefully off the base of my projects
Put clear glaze on first before dripping or painting on colors. * note this is different from dipping and washing glaze off....
