We have been sludgeing and chipping kilm shelfs all week. These are the kilm shelfs with glaze on them because someone put to much glaze on their project. This week I have learned how to work well with others. I have also swept and cleaned buckets. We are going to make glaze today and Tuesday.
 
Today we made glaze and we cleaned counters. We sweept the flour and counters. We chipped glaze shielfs. I sludged last week and cleaned buckets. I have learned a lot helping Norby such as how to make glazes, how to make kiln wash, and how to make other things. We learned how to get silt out of the buckets.
 
Jack and I clean buckets and load the kilm to day. I have also cleaned the drain last week and sludged as well. The drain was full of green water and silt or little rocks. In the prosses of cleaning the back room I got a big cut on my thumb. I have also been sweeping and washing out lots and lots of buckets. I have gone to back of the ceramics room and cleaned out the water and took the soungies and rubber rib tools.
 
Jack and I clean counters and load the glaze kilm. The counter is cleaned so people can work on them without getting dirty. Also the counter is cleaned so we can chip glaze shelfs with out getting the shelves dirty again. The kilm is filled with projects that have been glazed. They come out every 2 days. And is loaded every 3 days.
 
I have been helping the ta with many of his projects assigned by the teacher. Every day I have helped the ta I have learned something such as how to lose the bisk and make glazes. Also I think that if I keep on helping the ta I can become 1 in the years to pass. I have been able to get a to get the wheel 2 time this week and I made my set of 3. They will be on its way out of the bisk on Monday.
 
This week I have been helping jack with chores in the room. I have learned how to make glazes and what the powder does to thicken up. I have helped get the plaster out of the bottom if the buckets cause inch my hands to become bright red and a burning sensation. I have also gotten the glaze of of the kilm shelfs which I cut my self doing. Whith the skills I have learned doing these many jobs I think I can be a ta.
 
This week I have helped the noobs with the wheel. I have learned that showing them is not the best way to teach. If I let them try to do it they will learn better. I have only made my set of 3 which will come out soon.
 
This week I have learned how to throw a plate. It help me out when miss Heideman told me how to through out. When I first threw my plate I broke the sides and pushed down do hard. Then I learned from my mistakes and threw a plate.
 
My second week of ceramics I mad a tall project, two bowls, and a plate. I was trying hard and pumping out projects. This week I also learned how to pull up.
