[nabs-l] Ceramics

[Jameyanne Fuller]

Hello,
I haven't done this sort of thing since middle school art class, but I do
have some thoughts.
First, you should definitely communicate your concerns to your teacher. They
might be part of a list serve of other art teachers they could ask for
advice. Also, if you communicate with your teacher, they'll know that you're
concerned and you're trying and they might be more willing to be a little
forgiving if you do smear.
Second, and I have no idea if this would work, but I wonder if there's a way
you could somehow block yourself from glazing outside the lines in a tactile
way, like with tape or wikki sticks. I'm thinking of how we make designs on
easter eggs by covering parts of the egg with tape so that when you remove
the tape that part of the egg isn't painted. Like I said, I have no idea if
this would work.
Hope this is helpful.

Good morning students:
As an elective, I have decided to take ceramics for a great artistic
experience. I am doing well at pottery building and sculpting.
However, now we're glazing. Over glazes were easy, because putting 3
coats completely over the project does not require much sight.
However, now we're painting a smooth pinch pot we've created, which
requires under glazing. This requires sight in order to pay attention
to extreme detail. My teacher requires our project to have a pattern,
whether it's colors, stripes, complex shapes including flowers, etc.
But I'm not sure how to complete this project independently. I have a
para in class with me, but I don't want her to do all the work. It is
easy 6smear glaze together, and touching it ruins the design. Any
suggestions are tremendously appreciated!
Thanks,
JJ
