Last week I worked on the wheel and created the base for my first vessel. After letting it dry overnight wrapped in a moist paper towel and plastic bag, I was able to add extra details: the teeth, eyes, and foot. Over the weekend, my vessel (whom I named Walter) was put through the bisque fire.

I struggled with finding the right moisture level for me to be able to add the extra details on my vessel.

My plan for this week is to put an underglaze on Walter and for him to be completed by Friday.
