There's been lots of kiln sign-up drama which has put me behind schedule. I'm finishing up my 4th Unit for my professor. I'm making four piglets instead of another calf because of the time crunch. I'm not feeling the piglets as much and I feel like I'm rushing which is not exactly making great work.
For my own sanity I'll just list what's left to do in one week:
- Finish building 2 more piglets
-Underglaze two calfs
-Underglaze one piglet
-Fire the underglaze kiln
-Repair 3 broken calves
-Paint 3 calves
-Repair the chicks with broken legs
-Cover up repairs on chicks
-Repair the recent calf's broken leg
-Photograph everything in the photo room
The repair to the most recent calf might be more extensive. I fired her last night along with someone else's work who's piece blew up. It sounded like fireworks going off in the kiln. So, not excited to open the kiln tomorrow. I also have a presentation to put together for my seminar class and a draft of my letter of intent for grad school. All the other work I have to do will have to be done in January. Firing and underglazing the piglets and photographing them. Then putting together my application to grad school and the Windgate scholarship.
