As it is the last week of the quarter, I am just finishing up a lot of projects. Mostly I need to take pictures and blog, but I also made a really pretty vase last week that I had to foot on Monday. The rest of the week I plan on updating my grading blog and the vocab stuff. I have been spending a lot of time helping the newbes on the wheel, and since I have all of my projects finished I am a lot more willing to help them. I think that helping them is helping me with my own pieces because I am relearning and reinforcing the basics as I teach the newbes. Sometimes if you do something too much for too long, you sort of lose the little bits of technique and just forget about them. This is bringing back the good technique and it definitely is showing in my recent projects, specifically my new vase.
