Ceramics lab

Today I spent a couple hours in the ceramics lab. OPSU is on spring break so there were only a couple of us up there working. I've counted 17 masks and my goal was 20; and it would be easy to make three more (plenty of ideas in my head). But then the real challenge is the glazing. Picking color combinations from what is available in the lab; I have mixed my own but that takes time. Visualizing how they will turn out, and there are always surprises. A mask that takes an hour to make will take an hour and one half to glaze and then more time to embellish. I have hours of work ahead of me.
