DON'T glaze the bottom!

Hello.  Grace here!

I have just been to Katie's workshop - time.  Here is what I learnt:

• A pico second is the shortest amount of time.
• There are three types of time - past, present and future.
• There are so many ways to measure time; water, the Sun and much, much more!

I also did potting.  Well, glazing.  Last week I finished under-glazing my pots.  This week, I'm full on glazing!  Here are the rules for glazing:

• Two coats of glaze.
• Leave three to four millimeters from the bottom.
• DO NOT glaze the bottom!!!!!  (or else it will stick to the tray when you put it in the kiln).

Marie will be coming back to pick them up at the end of the day.  The pots will go in the kiln one last time, and then I will be able to take all my creations home, and have a lovely tea party.

Clay, Clay, Under Glaze

Today, well, I did only one thing, really.  It was glazing my pots!!
 I did three last week but this week I did heaps!
 Marie helped me with the first part.
Firstly you have to put white slip on-white clay mixed with water.
 The style that I glazed my pots were:

• Bee Landing on a flower
• Sun Set Trees
• Fishy Sea
• Three flower pots
• Rainbow

Well, that was some of my pots!

Prezi!

Today...  Well today I made another pot.  But it was super cute.  I put waves on the outside of the pot and inside the pot, I put a little fishy.  That was the only pot I made today because Marie (the potter) is coming in the afternoon to help me glaze my pots.  And I have made many pots.  The best thing is, I'll learn to glaze my pots!
Another thing I did today was learning how to use Prezi.  Katie said that it was like keynote, and might be a way we could present our gifted profile to the rest of the class.  So this morning, we had a chance to explore Prezi - it was FUN!!
Bye, bye!
