This week, I have wedged clay and made my tea pot. I love my theme because you can do so much with nature! I can draw nature on some projects and add natural shapes and colors onto others. This week I helped tyler with a project and stayed after and made a vase. I was absent and my vase became bone dry and I could not save it :( this was a productive week though, and the only projects I have left to do are the hand and wheel, I think i will make a cup or a
Vase.

This week I am going to try to finish all of my projects so that I do not wait until the last minute and possibly not finish something. I am very excited for my nature presentation. This week I need to make a hand and wheel project and I need to finish a few glazes on projects. I have been helping beginner students with either making lids, or fitting different projects together. I love my teapot and I think it goes well with my theme because it has a butterfly on it, and a simple natural green color. I have been working very hard this week to finish up my projects and I am going to continue working hard. My hand a wheel project that I made last week broke when I tried to food it. The lip of the project was too thin and when I was finished footing, the lip broke and created an unrepairable crack in my project. This was going to be a mug but no longer will be.

I am trying to incorperate the feel of spring and summer into my nature theme projects. I am not 100% sure how I am supose to do so but I am trying to come up with ideas. I have made the base to my teapot and am working on the handle and spout. My handles have looked terrible so far and Hannah said that she would help me make one tomorrow and show me how to make one so that it is not thick and ugly. I think to match my nature theme, I will glaze it green and add a butterfly onto the spout so that it ties it into the spring feel of all of my other newly made projects.
