Underglaze for my pots of clay!

Today I underglazed my pots.  Especially the rock.  Lots of people called it painting.  Even the ones doing clay!  In Term 3 people started realising that pottery was really cool.  So their getting Marie in to help next week.  A chance to get my pots kilned!!

Today I also did some more abstract art with Katie.  Today, we did masking tape art, which helps create a pattern of shapes and lines.  Here is a photo of me and my art:

The jug kettle

To-clay I was back on the potters wheel.  I made a jug kettle. The handle was like a kettles but it kind of collapsed.  So Darryn fixed it.  He put part of an coloured ice-cream stick under it to keep it from collapsing.  The jug part of it was because it didn't have a lid.  Well, jugs do have lids but my terrific ones don't.  I absolutely cannot wait till art.  For affective study I'm doing Alexander the Great.  I've got heaps of information.  I'm going to transfer the information to Pages... Somehow.  Here is the coin with his FACE!!!
