Class02_Homework_August 23rd

PINCH POTS [3 small and 1 large]
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

CARVE OUT
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.  


READING - Click and read the following pdfs. Take notes in your binder:


TOOLS - Please have your basic toolkit, spray bottle, packing tape, towel and bucket for next class. Be prepared to pay for your respirator in the next two weeks once purchasing is set up with Chris Allen the woodshop manager.
