Pottery 陶器, the 3rd time
This will be my third time starting on pottery. The first time was in Hong Kong, in the early 1980s. The second time was a few years ago in New York. Neither had last.
My gadgets: apron, tools and clays, which came mixed from Amazon.
This popular class is taught by Lady Di, who was a schoolteacher. It runs for five Mondays.
Week 1: Our first creation is a flower. Then a pumpkin, then moved on to a turtle: the standing one is from the teacher and mine is tired and flattened out -:), and eventually lost one leg.
These creatures need to be room dried then, glazed before going into the kiln, the final step.
Our weekly sessions, six Mondays, from Oct 2 to Nov 6:
- Week 2: a coil pot
- Week 3: slab cylinders
- Week 4: moulds
- Week 5: glazing
- Week 6: glazing II
