1. Ceramic ashtray


fast making festival







Through making this ashtray, I learnt basic skills for making a ceramic work. To make a ashtray, I need to figured out how many parts I need and their thickness. Firstly, I roll the clay into a flake with different direction rollings to make sure it average,  and cut them into the parts. Then, to glue them together, I need cut the connection part roughly and use p (a liquid of clay) as glue. I make a mistake when I waiting for drying. I need to polish it with sponge before it totally get dry, unless it will get crack after polishing it with water after drying. But it still has method to rescue the rough surface. One is that use little water to fix the small crack with p (a liquid of clay). Another is that polish it with sandpaper after firing, meanwhile rinsing it to prevent dust going everywhere. Anyway, I cannot sandpaper it when it is dry clay, because the dust will go into lung and be harmful for health. It is really hard to polish after firing, so next time I will remmenber to make it as perfect as possible to avoid so much upset things.




Then, it comes to glazing stage. At first, I need to stir the glaze liquid to make it easy to attach to surface. Secondly I use a tool to clamp it to dip. I thought it is not thick enough at first time, so I dipped twice. The staff told me it was too thick and not easy to dry. I can use my finger or paintbrush to clean the bubbles on the surface. To polish it, I used my finger, actually I think this result is not so good. Next time, I need to ask a better way to polish it averagely. Waiting for the final work, blessing. Finally, my glazing failed. It is black and brown with so many bubbles there. I thought it should be red but not. And it is too small when I using it. Next time, I should refer to size of other design and polish the clay well.
