I finished my hand built project this week. I spent a lot of time piecing together the buttons. I am very happy with the results. Initially, I was going to completely cover the surface with buttons (except the front flat part, inside, and urinal) but I decided to go about halfway down the sides, which I think looks better. I decided to go ahead and do the screen printed pattern. I intentionally did the pattern with low fire glaze in order to get the same result as last semester. I want to experiment with getting a bolder image, however with this project I think the ghost image that will be more suitable. If I had used under glazes (which I had intended to do), I feel that it would have been overwhelming. I want there to be a lot, but not too much.
This past weekend, I also spent some time getting my work together for my SpaceLab review. I'm hoping that went well. :)
I worked on glazing on Wednesday. I got 15 of my cylinders glazed. I had a lot of fun planning and applying different glazes. I took detailed notes on my application process. I am excited to see how they come out.
This week I also got my studio! I am very excited, and thank you for all your help, Brian. It feels like I'm getting a new little apartment or something!
