Final picture of table setting

Reflection question

1. My growth on the wheel has been up and down. I have my good days on the wheel then my bad days but overall its gotten way better
2. On the wheel it takes a lot of time and practice and you have to know what you are doing. Also you need to know all the techniques and what you are making.
3. The biggest struggle was to center and once I went to make a whole it would become off center. I fixed them by trying and trying and eventually getting it right.
4. The easiest part was planing the things to make and how to make them. The hardest was definitely the time crunch on everything.
5. I do not believe I can sell some of my work, but some of it I could possible sell it. The stuff I couldn't sell would be because they are ugly and they have cracked. The stuff that I could possibly sell is because they look good and they will work and do their job.

Challanges/ successes in the wheel

Some of the successes that I had on the wheel were when I got all of the test tiles done and they looked half decent. The main challenges were when the base of the tests were to thin or I would put a big hole in the bottom from cutting it off to high up. The successes happened a lot more then the challenges. Overall the pottery wheel is not to hard.
