I was advised by my tutors to try different approaches in my tests and maybe get more 'clay' look instead of  plastic. One of the suggestions was to try to throw something on the potters wheel  instead of press-moulding. Let's be straight here I do like to learn to throw but so far I am far from being good at it. I have decided that I will use my lack of experience as a main feature of this bath of work - I made my cylinders wobbly and bumpy. I decided that I would like to cut sections out of my cylinders and see how the temperature will affect the form. The next step was cutting cylinders in halves and assembling them the same way as I did with plastic. The main problem I am dealing with is that when plastic is geven a shape - a bottle ie.- it's keeping it when porcelain wants to get straight no matter what. That's why I am trying to make it remember the circular shape by throwing it. My next step will be casting cylinders with porcelain slip. Before tha

Over all I am quite pleased with the results. My pieces moved slightly in the kiln but I think they look pretty  much the same as in green stage. My next firing will be a test for bigger constructions to see how the things will work when joined together :) Here are few of my results :)  1220 C
