Semester 2 Goals

What I have learned so far: Last semester, I learned a lot about ceramics. From simple things like how to wedge clay and how important it is, to more complex things like coil building and how to use a slump mold to make a bowl. I know how to plan something either in my head or on a piece of paper. I feel like I have a basic understanding of ceramics.

What I would like to learn: This semester, I want to learn how to throw on a wheel. From the very first time I saw someone do it in class, it always appealed to me. Seeing them make such perfect, smooth objects. I want to specifically make a series of bowls I can use at my house. I have one I made a while ago, but I really want that flawless style of bowl you might actually buy. Maybe someday I could make ceramics and sell them. I am also really excited to make the small bust this semester. I think it seems cool, and it might prove as a challenge to me in a good, constructive way.
