This semester, I took ceramics 1. For my matching mug projects, I wanted to use the White Drape glaze that makes the other glazes more runny, so I decided to make it look like the glaze was pouring out of my mugs. In ceramics, I enjoyed learning how to throw a pot on the wheel and all the steps that go into it. One thing I learned this semester is that you must follow every step correctly or your pottery…
