This week we continued to throw and we are doing bowls. To me bowls are easier to throw than cylinders. Throwing is starting to come a little more nature now that I'm doing it a lot. The only thing I need to work on when throwing bowls is before I take it off the wheel, I need to snow-plow more of the bottom of the bowl off. I think trimming the bowls is my favorite part about the process. It makes them look a lot cleaner and it's really easy to do.
For this week I'm going to be working on the glaze calculation project. I'm goin to be changing to percentage of EPK in the Shino glaze to see what kind of colors we can get from it. I've never mixed a glaze before, but I'm sure if I need any help Brian will assist me. After I finish the glaze calculation I believe we are going to be throwing mugs and that's what I've been trying to do, because I need a good coffee mug.
