You cannot work with super dry clay because I made all the aloe vera pieces in the beginning and they all dried out before I could use them. Then, when the piece was fired, one piece broke off. I learned that I have to either work faster or preserve my pieces with more moisture.

I enjoyed using all my skills that I have learned throughout the years. This semester I was really able to work on and expand my skills. I liked being a person that my peers turned to when they had questions and most of all I just liked having the privilege of working with clay.

I learned that letting someone else pick the glaze color is surprising. I thought that the color would be not the prettiest, but I actually really like how the glaze turned out.
