We went over fixing cracks, making embellishments and additions, and cleaning up the edges of these forms. Please have your small pots close to completion [3] and your large pot [1] well under way for class Tuesday. To complete the work you can do any of the following:
- Cutting the cracked edge off and finishing the edge by pinching
- Patching cracks by scoring and slipping small pieces of clay into the cracked area
- Joining a fresh piece of clay to the pot by scoring and slipping
- Applying a thick coat of slip to a cracked surface and using the rib to compress said slip into the cracks

We will be working on this form next class. Please develop at least [3] small maquettes in preparation. If you take photos of these you will be able to print them and add them to your sketchbook binder to receive credit. Using a reference [maquette or actual object] will help you build a good looking and innovative object. Once you have done your prep work, use your references [2D and 3D] to make your overall form. Use between 6-10#s of clay.
