Ceramics, 12 bowls...well...er....um...more like 16 bowls and an extruder.

Lets just say by this point in time I am a little tired of making bowls, but I am getting a little better at it, if you can call turning one ball of clay into one wet ball of mush and two of my bowls not being good enough, though practice makes progress,not perfect. I will get this.
                                                                                      
First bowls I made in ceramics last semester Fall 2016



The first assignment this semester was to make 12 bowls, I made 12 bowls,well I made 10 good bowls and two alright bowls. The next assignment involves an extruder,which is a mechanism you push clay through to make shapes like a tube. this one takes longer to do. now I have to make 4 bowls in which I will then trim the bottom to make them look nice.

Ceramics is fun and a lot of work,but if you enjoy it,its worth it.
