Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Minnesota artists are able to expand or further develop their artistic abilities through varied learning opportunities.
Measurable Outcome(s)
I was able to test my claybody over a range of 8 different firing temperatures as well as over 60 surface treatments resulting in a better understanding of my materials. I now have a selection of glazes and target firing temperature that will produce a more durable earthenware pot. I also focused my forming methods on developing uniquely shaped hand-built wares with integrated surface design. The information gathered from these developments will allow me to confidently move forward with a new line of wares. I was able to evaluate finished glaze test tiles and finished pottery forms.
