Yes. I learned how to make a mug first of all, plus i learned a lot about clay and clay making materials.
Did you gain skill with familiar materials?
I learned an easier way to score and slip and keeping the clay from drying out.
Questions
When did you step back and analyze you work during this project?
Before it was bisqued I made sure it was what i wanted from what i was making
Did you consider how ideas would work before you tried them?
Yes, i thought about making a bowl before realizing i can't have tea very successfully in a bowl.
Artists Collaborate
I had other students look at my work to make sure everything was level and proportional. Miss Sudkamp had helped me with learning how to clean glaze off parts of the piece so the colors wouldn't mix.
