pots by steven colby
I am doing some steven Colby inspired work in ceramics. This weekend I made 10 cups and bowls! eek! My feet made a leap of progress. I overheard a potter in ceramics say today that potters go through a thousand (1000lb!) of clay before they are proficient. Reassuring to hear it takes time.
Ceramics goals:
-Make more colored slips: more pinks, a wine-ish red, another yellow
-Do some flower sketches for ideas
-think about forms
-finish dissertation
I have my ceramics critique on Tuesday: I'm interested to hear folks thoughts reactions and suggestions. I think my work has improved just from getting a few suggestions about feet and lips. I feel though as I edge back towards earthenware that I have returned to my element. Just dipping things in glaze doesn't interest me--even if the results are incredible (or can be)
