Hey there blogging land. This is my first ceramics blog for the first summer session Ceramics. I have decided that I would like to eventually become proficient at throwing vessels on a wheel. This is what I have made so far. I believe these would at least serve the function of a cup, but that's about it so far. I believe that I am making progress, but at first it seemed like the harder I tried, the less centered the pieces got. Only when I switched to steady the vessel with my right and and my left hand to push down and shape what I'm calling a cylinder.
The first day we made clay. I believe it is called IUS Throwing Stoneware. It is still pretty wet even though Miri and I ended up doubling the recipe. At the same time as making our clay, Chris and Miranda made a double batch Porcelain. We are going to share the two different clays so we can all have the opportunity to use the different clays and create different vessels.
Here's the culprit. We put in way too much slop to begin with, so we had to compensate by doubling the recipe. It was the opposite last time I made clay. Go figure.
