My LILLSTREET THROWDOWN students are amazing…
as they embrace each challenge so fully & creatively.
Many of them were working on their challenge pieces Tuesday night while I was teaching my Beginning Wheelthrowing class. I resisted the urge to go see what they were doing… and trust me it was HARD!!! I kept hearing laughter, discussion and “reports” for other students about how cool their projects were… and how well they were all coming along. I SO wanted to go back to see them… but felt better to wait to see them at The Big Reveal in class Wednesday night.
Luckily, they’re also good photographers… so they took pictures for me… but Jon didn’t share them with me until AFTER class Wednesday night. Yes, they do love playing games too!
Here’s Jon working hard on his piece using the pile of tubes you’ve already seen.
Scoring… slipping… attaching… and most of them are NOT handbuilders!!!
Donna was the only “handbuilder” coming into the class…
so she’s obviously enjoying this challenge!
While Ryan found the challenge to be a bit more prickly… making thorns with thick slip!
Claire on the other hand had great plans… and many choices to make along the way…
Not feeling so confident about the lid she’s adding to the tulipere…
Susan doing some finishing touches on her coiled pot.
Patti adding some last minute carvings to texture the tube of her tulipiere.
And if that weren’t enough... slip dots on the white tubes…
And Teresa was happy to be finishing her piece just in time for class!
