So in my ceramics class I made a bowl. It wasn't the greatest bowl but I made it and I was proud of it. The pottery wheel is darned hard but after MANY failed attempts I finally got a nicely shaped bowl with an interesting foot carving (the base). I set it out to be bisque fired (first firing) and when it was supposed to come out it was gone. I figured maybe it wasn't bisqued yet and it would come out later. But by chance I found it glazed with someone ELSE'S initials carved into it! So I told the teach, cleaned it off, sanded the initials off, and reglazed it how I wanted it. Then I set it out to be high fired (second firing) over the weekend. It was supposed to come out Monday... and it's gone. The jerk stole it again! I'm so sad, it wasn't the greatest bowl, but I liked it and I was going to give it to my mom for Mother's Day. Now all I have is a single cup that looks retarded by itself and nothing to give to my mom.
I can't believe people would be so cruel! I also had another project stolen, and it makes me so angry. There was NO way the thief could have mistaked it as his own, the foot was totally unique (it wasn't even when I put it on the wheel, so it spiraled and made this elaborate eye pattern that I cleaned up and tinkered with), so it was done with cruel intentions. The jerk got a grade for something that I made that he simply plucked off the shelf. I never got to see how the glaze turned out, and I have nothing for my mom now. I hate people sometimes.
