Most, but not all, of my ceramics things, categorized by glaze and clay. Last night I decided to try and sort of catalog everything (yes, Friday nights are truly wild in this apartment).
Yesterday was my last ceramic wheelworking class (though things are still being fired and I have some stuff to pick up later in the week). There was some day during the semester when we got into a class-wide discussion about bagels and lox, and it was revealed that my professor is a bit of a bagels and lox fanatic, as are the majority of students in the class. So for the last class of the semester, my professor brought in a breakfast feast of bagels, cream cheese, butter and lox for all! I was especially impressed because we do not have a small class, yet he brought enough food for everyone to eat their fill and then some! Plus the bagels were still toasty warm. Mmmm. So even though I am personally not a bagels with lox fanatic, arriving at a sleepy early morning class and being greeted by warm buttery bagels was absolutely wonderful. We all gleefully munched on our rejuvenating carbs while looking at a small selection of everyone’s work and talking about it. It wasn’t really a critique; it was more like our professor asking each student a few questions about what they like the best out of everything they made and why, and then everyone else chiming in to mention what they like the most. I was disappointed that my professor hardly said anything about my work, but at the end of class he came over to me and told me that I did a really great job and said some nice things which totally made up for it. After a thorough scrubbing of all of the pottery wheels, we were free to leave early, so I crashed at my apartment for a little while before my last art history class.
Art history had a particularly amusing ending; the professor ended the class by playing a slideshow of all the major works and sites we’d studied throughout the semester, as well as some random humorous pop culture references he’d thrown in on occasion, while some sad, heartfelt goodbye song played. It was pretty funny.
My plans for this weekend pretty much just contain doing my visual language final, cleaning up my visual language final portfolio, and food shopping. I know it’s not particularly exciting, but I like having a quiet day or two of just working, cooking, and relaxing.
I dunno what this little thing is but it’s kind of sincere.
This crazy stripey design happened on its own; I just dipped this little bowl in white and then celadon, expecting them to layer.
Made three of these, and after seeing how they came out I wish I’d made more!
