Day 63

No day off today but I did get to sleep in. I go down to the market to get some fish and veggies for the week and then I'm back up to school. I make a tasty lunch of salmon and veggies and head to the clay studio. Here I glaze and Glaze and glaze never ending glazing after like 5 hours of glazing and a 30 min nap I took axidently took in my sketchbook I had the first two layers on each of my pots and all of it documented. Dinner at Toninos and bed to finish up the night. 

Day 62

Time to break open my molds. As we go at our plaster shells with the back end of a hammer our masterpieces start to emerge out of the ruins. Thanks to a great pour all of our molds turned out as they should. After Christmas morning is over I move to my marble piece. Today's the day I give my lady a boob job. As I chizzle away in the most un axessible space my lady's waist come out. Then off to an afternoon of death and voucher night. As I loved the restraint Preludio from last week I decided to go again. Tonight I split the pumpkin asparagus and prawn salmon soup, the homemade pistachio and marscapone tortalini and the Guini fowel with vine smoked pears with Ali. I love foooood and I definitely love pistachio and marscapone pasta.  Full day of work and lots of fun.

Day 61

Started my day off with a wonderful breakfast of fryed eggs on a role with cream cheese and sautéed sage. I love daylight savings. Then headed to ceramics to for a full class of glazing. Next I modled for the drawling class as I was draped aginst the wall I have the statue of Appaloosa and Daphne projected over me. Hand and hand wih Apollo ;). Then spent the next few hours getting ready for the bronze pour and finding out the me and Iris are now pouring. At 5 we started up the furnis as the flam roared the crowd started to grow. We had practiced 5 times today it was a flawless pour. I only have to lift 200 pounds of molten metal that's scolding hot out of a furnace into a holder and pour it neatly into the molds. As the metal reached molted we go to start the pour. Well the furnis is to small that the holders don't want to make there way down around the crushable. As the heat swells around us we struggle to get the crushable clamped. Iris jumps in and leans the crusable over with the skimmer and allows us to grasp it. At this point my gloves had started to smoke and my leg was feeling the heat. As the first part of the pour threw us off we aren't on point when we set the crusable into the holder the flux on the brand new crusable is soft and stiky. We go to lift up with the flux has created undercuts for the tongs. Finally we wiggle our way out of it. Iris takes over for Kenzie and we start to pour the molds. The metal is red hot and pours flawlessly. Each mold fils as it should. The crusable is returned and the pour is over. As nerve racking as this pour was the team stayed in there. Thank you to my casting teacher Kenzie, and my fellow students Iris and Manon for being a wonderful pour team.
