6 inch cylinder

This is my 6 inch cylinder, it is my least favorite piece of all the things I have made this year. It was the class's first project on the wheel and I admit that I had a lot of trouble getting the clay centered even. I think that I would have preferred doing the bowl project first, since everyone seemed to make a bowl instead of a cylinder. After the first firing, I dipped the cylinder into high fire glaze and poured a different color on the inside. I learned that high fire glaze melts a lot in the kiln and putting on a large coat of glaze is not a good idea. I also learned that the color changes a lot in the kiln.
