Final Project (slab)
I really like how this turned out, this started out with just a slab of clay that you had to roll out and it turned into a bowl. I wedged a ball of clay and then took a rolling pin and rolled it out to make it even. After it was all rolled out and even I cut around the hexagon I cut out earlier. I put them together by slipping and scoring then placed a little piece of clay on the inside to make it smoothed out. i didn't get a chance to fire it because it wasn't dried out enough yet.
Slab project
For my slab project I decided to make a hexagonal bowl. I really like how this turned out, this started out with just a slab of clay that you had to roll out and it turned into a bowl.

coil pot
For my coil pot i decided to make little coils all the way around it until it was tall enough. My plan did not work out very well. The first time I tried it it was to small and skinny. It dried out way to fast and no matter how much a slipped and scored it it wasn't staying together. For my second one I tried to make it bigger so it wouldn't dry out to fast but the same thing happened with that one. I think i would really of liked the project if I would of completed this one. I loved the fact that you are just taking almost random coils and putting them together in whatever way you decide and making something more.
Wheel throwing
For wheel throwing it wasn't my favorite thing to do. I couldn't quite get the centering of it. It was really difficult for me because i couldn't get enough strength behind it when i was trying to center it. Before you can throw on the wheel and with every project you do for working with clay you have to wedge it to get the air bubbles out of it and if you don't get all the air bubbles out of it, it can affect your wheel throwing.
