There's something about the announcement of the last day to use wet clay that makes me put all other ceramic assignments aside and just start throwing as many bowls as I can... I don't know why, it just happens.  As a result I have 12 bowls that will need to be trimmed on Thursday and since I stayed late I was able to pug and reclaim all the scrap clay I've accumulated... so I'll be set to throw more bowls after trimming.

On a side note I also got to help load the kiln and had the honor of lighting one of the burners.  It was fun experience and after that I learned a lot from Dan who fired a couple of my bowls over spring break. He explained how one of my bowls ended up so interesting. (I forgot to take a picture AND to take it home... I'll show it later) But Shino is a very interesting and extremely finicky glaze.
