this is my wheel altered project. When on the wheel, sometimes you can make an outstanding project by messing it up, or altering it on the wheel. To do this I spun the wheel and just hit the top for it to make a weird shape like it has. When glazing, I learned how white glaze and shadow green work really well together to make a really awesome glaze. Next time I want to try to make a much more elaborate wheel altered.
This is my hand and wheel project. This was my first time this year making a hand and wheel, so I just went for making a small, mugged size pitcher. I put the handle on at an angle, so it is towards the side of the project. Although, the handle is not as good as I wanted it to be, I really like the glaze on the project. I put white glaze on my project first and then put shadow green over it. When the project was over, I learned how well those two glazes work together to make a really pretty color. Also, the importance of knowing how those glazes run a lot in the kiln is something I forgot. Getting the glaze off of the bottom of the project and the sides was really difficult.
