This week was mostly glazing and finishing the last parts to my two life-size figures.  I pushed a bit too much for my work to be finished by putting a very wet head into a bisque, and it didn't make it.  This is my first time working on this size and also so close to the deadline.  I definitely learned clays limits.

This week in the studio I did some tests of how clay would respond when placed in water.  I knew it disintegrated into fine particles, often made into slip, but I wanted to see if I could partially disintegrate a body part, possibly to then fire it with this texture from the water.  I also was wanting to video record this process because nothing speaks to the breaking down of the body from pain than literally this process.  I think recording it with a figure could be very poetic and beautiful, and hopefully a good art piece.  I will be recording this 

This week I've been continuing my creation of body parts for my final projects of the semester.  I have one full figure finished, and am about half way through my second figure.  After I bisque these I will be applying the crater glaze from my tests.  This week I also glazed my torso figures with the crater glaze and will be putting them in the cone 10 gas kiln soon.
