This semester has not been the way I have wanted it to be. As I've said in past blogs, my vessels and my mugs didn't achieve what I wanted them to achieve. I had paddies stick to the bottoms of my vessels very badly. It was a meltdown of epic proportions... The jug turned out a much lighter brown than what I really wanted. I expected the jug to be dark brown and for the smallest vessel a bluish-purple color. Instead, I got the brown I intended for my jug. Needless to say, this has been a very awkward semester; however, if only I had put in more time and effort, my results may been twice as good. But, the glazing is something that takes a lot of practice to get just the right color and we do not always have control. I see more and more people who do not get the color they originally wanted. I had this trouble last semester with one of my pieces as I mentioned in previous posts.
Next semester, I am honestly going to go crazy and put in long hours and the studio if that is what it takes. I would like to become a well rounded artist, one who can do it all. In order to do that, one must practice..
