A list of tasks and its result

October 24th, 2006

Sunday evening I entered the UNCC ceramic studio with a small list of things I wished to accomplish:

  • 12# Cylinder
  • 12# Bowl
  • 14″, 12″, 10″ Platters
  • 6#, 5#, 4# bowl set
  • Attempt a tall bottle
  • Additional 10″ throws to complete project requirements (4# throws)

Of this list I managed to accomplish the 12# bowl (4 attemps, 3 survived) and I did a 20″ platter (but nothing smaller). I tend to let myself loose focus on things in the ceramic world sometimes. I dive in with goals and manage to only accomplish a few things, or none at all if I get distracted by something else (like a shiney 20″ Amaco Plastibat).
I still have to complete my 10″ (or larger) cyllinder project before the end of the semester, but that should be a fun task to accomplish. The studio will be winding down for the semester in the next few weeks as the last several (probably about 25) loads of bisqueware are fired.
