Starting out this project made me nervous because  the fact that we had to connect the two slabs together and make it seem like there is no defined line made me freak out. But once I got to that part it didn't seem as hard anymore because it was easy for me to scorn and slip the two slabs together. I struggled a lot with making the top lid of the lighthouse because I couldn't get the shape I wanted to so I stopped working on the lid and moved onto craving out the windows and making the bottom of the lighthouse even because it would wobble a lot.  So after that I was kind of getting upset about how it was looking and I wanted to change it and make it to be Squidward's house but then I had seen someone had already made that so I decided not to change it. So, when I went back to work on the lid I realized that I can make a lid using coils and so that what I started to  do. Unfortunately my vase had a bad accident and fell over and broke into four large pieces. I was actually not so upset because a couple days before i said

Planning this project stressed me out a bit because the fact that we had to make an animal using only coils seemed impossible for me. Luckily Mrs.Abrams gave us the option to make a full animal made of coil or some sort of pot or bowl with the animal features. So i decided to make a bow. Making this project was very fun for me and I enjoyed making it because I didn't even think it was possible to make a bow completely out of coils. My coils were going to be on the outside of the bowl so I had to make sure the inside was perfectly smooth and I struggled a bit with that . Blending the coils in the inside was also difficult because sometimes they would come apart. I made a mistake of not putting enough moisture on the center of the bowl because after it came out of the kelm it cracked a bit. When it came to start glazing this project , I chose to use a black for the inside and I didn't use enough layers, so I didn't come out as black as I had expected. Overall I loved my coil project and I loved how no one else made one similar to it so I felt like my project was unique. I wouldn't change anything about it because I think that projects aren't meant to be perfect.

Before taking Mrs.Abrams ceramics class I had never worked with clay before or knew the different type of glazes there were or what the tools were used for. So getting assigned my first ever clay project, the pinch project, I had no idea what I was going to create because to be honest I didn't even know what  a pinch pot was. After getting taught how to make a pinch pot I got the hang of it and i was able to get the shape I wanted. But after seeing everyone's final project I kind of wished I would have made the pot a different and unique shape . I also did not know that clay had to be kept moist so I would come to class sometimes with a cracked pinch pot. I also made the mistake of covering large areas of my project with wonder glazes, so when it came time to use the crystal glazes, there wasn't able to do much. I had thought that the wonder glazes were going to be the only glazes we use. I enjoyed making this project because there were so many ways to be creative with it by using aspects of the ocean to inspire us. I feel like I have had came into ceramics knowing what everything was used for then I would have a much better pinch project. However I like how my project came out and I think it is sort of funky in a way. :)
