But wait - There's more!

This is actually a pretty small amount of pottery from one class but I had to miss two weeks of it and I'm not sad about them. 
I love the stuff I made in my Wheel 2 class. 

I do want to plug the MSCR pottery classes to anyone in Madison WI. 
I learned so much! 

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my awesome teacher helped me with bowls. My challenge has always been that they collapse. She gave me some pointers and I made some bowls that worked! 

Heavily glazed pottery bowl

This is the biggin'. Isn't it pretty? 


Drip drip. Great glaze. I don't know from glaze but I feel like this one is dreamy.

Three pottery bowls

 I made three little-ish bowls to practice the curve and I dig them, deeply. I had lots of fun glazing them too.

The insides of four heavily glazed pottery bowls

These innards...they show my rookie status and I'm totally comfortable with that. 
I, for sure, used too much glaze but I think they wear it well. Luckily they didn't drip all over the kiln shelf.

Three pottery bud vases

I practiced the curve on these vases. I love making lil bud vases. 

Round bodied, skinny necked, heavily glazed pottery bud vase

And again, my magnum opus. Because you should look at it again. You GET to look at it again. 

Hi pretty.

Rotund


I knew when I took this pot off of the wheel that it was the best thing I'd ever made. It's so balanced and rotund and I love the proportions.


So, after I took the picture, I cropped the rest out so I could just look at it and vibe.

As far as pots go, it's a little one. This would be really impressive if it was BIG. But, I'm easily impressed, so it's fine with me.


I love the glaze, which is a fake ash glaze. Please don't ask me to elaborate. 
I can't. 
It looks like avocado skin.


The inside is a lovely blue but the neck is so skinny that you can't see much of what's going on in there.


All that's left is adding a flower. 
I will soon and I'll post that to IG: @jenniferdyes...on the off chance that you didn't come here from there.
