I am finishing up my set of 3. So far I made a pitcher, a gravy dish, and a dinner plate. But when I look at the all together I realized that the pitcher and the gravy dish look odd together. the Pitcher needs to be taller to go with the gravy dish. So I made a serving bowl instead to go with the gravy dish and plate. I also made another bowl, it is the biggest one I have made yet. The planter I made last week is dry enough to but in the bisk, and my mug, pencil holder and bowls should be out of the glaze kiln this week.
This week I am going to work on my set of three. I am going to make a picture and two cups. I made my picture today. It was a vase that I collapsed the top so the edges me and shaped into and abstract picture. My plan is to make the two cups have a similar collapsed feel to it.
This week I have also been helping other people that don't have a lot of practice on the wheal get on it again. I also want to try to make bigger and better projects. My dad has requested that a make a pot for one of his plants that has to be about 12in x 6in. Witch would be the lager project I will have made I want to make it but I think I will have to work up to that a little bit more before I can make something that big. This I made three bowls that I am going to donate. This week was also my first week back on the wheel form a long summer so I was a little rusty. The bowls were not my best work. Centering was pretty easy for me, however it was hard for me to keep it centered while I was opening it to make to bowl. I will focus on that next week when I make my tall project.
