seemingly not a productive day, but i worked on several things and the new mgr gave a centering demo at someone's request. i will be trying some new techniques as a result next time i throw. i may go in on saturday in order to do that. i figure i'll practice a few times and slice the resulting vessel open to ensure i'm getting the walls of my piece even. he did that to his and i was impressed.
the new manager is going to reduce the amount of space we can take up. well, actually he's going to enforce the rules unilaterally across the board. i think i can deal with it though.
i didn't do much trimming on this piece (funky vase 2) as it didn't need it really. there wasn't the right size collar available so i didn't have a way to do so anyway. the top of the vase is too fragile to carry the weight and pressure needed in trimming. i don't like flat bottoms, i always put some sort of foot. i think that's the most fun w/trimming. image 1, image 2.
these are the pawns. they need cleaning up and such but i think i'm on the right track. it shd be easier to get the remaining pieces done. image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4.
