Glaze Practice on Mini Pots
Create 10 mini pots using the pinch technique or by using a mold. Each pot must have an attached foot. The foot must be a minimum of ½ inch high.
There must be a clean line or divider between foot and pot this will help you determine how much a piece runs). The entire foot must be free from glaze (this also will help you determine how much a piece runs). The pot should be no bigger than 3 inches in any direction. All pots must have your full name visible on the foot and be numbered 1-10. You must accurately fill out your glaze chart.
Grading Criteria: 40 points total
10 points: accurate and complete glaze chart (1 point per pot)
10 points: completed and glazed pot (1 point per pot)
10 points: ½ inch foot, properly attached, on every pot (1 point per pot)
10 points: visible full name on every pot that is visible after glaze fire
Additional deductions
Unfired pots will receive no credit
Pots that explode/break (because of thickness or lack of wedging) will receive not credit
