{Ceramics 1} March 31, 2014

March 31, 2014

Focus: 

Gloss Glaze: has a glossy finish.

Underglaze: stays exactly where you put it & required a coat of clear to make it glossy.

Matte glaze: has a non-glossy surface--think of the way an egg shell looks.


Objectives for today:
1. Continue to recycle clay, as needed.
2. Continue to wedge clay, as needed.
3. Work on Pinch Pot Unit.
4. Add foot and burnish pots.
5. Create lid, flange and lid topper (pull).
6. Work on clay pinch pot rattle.
7. Begin working on Coil Pot. 


Closure:  How will you know if your glaze is food safe?  Answer:  It will say it on the label (Certified Non-Toxic). Most will have a fork & knife symbol to represent “safe for eating.”
