Gosh, that's absolutely terrible. I personally would have broken that kid's nose and made sure he was sterile by castrating him with my foot. lol.

I would also make a written complaint to the academic dean outlining all the information you know, plus what you suspect. This is no laughing matter and should be treated like a crime (by the school) in my book.

Unfortunately this happens all the time there, so I'm sure they won't feel inspired by this particular incident.

Sounds like something I would do.

Once I was told that I couldn't do a certain part of my job because I'm female. I sat my rear down on a box and didn't do ANY part of my job for the rest of the day (had a looooong talk with the bosses boss the next day)

Haha, thanks. I don't think I'll ever find the thief, but if I do I will relish the fact that he'll fail the class and get kicked out. I'm at Sierra College right now, my teacher is Casey O'Connor (one of the greatest teachers EVER! love him, he's so fun).

Makes me worry about next semester! I plan on making some killer sculptures... I may suck at bowls but I'm dang good at sculpture! If they steal those I would probably cry. lol.

Holy Cats. you're in Rocklin! I'm right up the road. Don't let the turkeys get you down! and remember you have friends who 'know people'

just kidding... so what are you going to do for your mom for mom's day?

Hi there almost neighbor!

Not sure! I gave her the lonesome cup tonight. Didn't see any sense in giving her a random cup for Mother's Day. I told her what happened and she said it was ok but no it's not! I'll be gone camping tomorrow and Saturday so I can't go buy something for her. I'll try to find a gold nugget at the old mine we're visiting. lol. That'd be a heck of a MD present! Maybe a pine cone quickly disguised as a turkey... lol. revert back to kindergarten days.

Always, always, always carve your name deep into the clay before bisque-ing. Another option on the wheel: You will get the larger, flatter pieces to adhere better to the wheel, and therefore get more control, if you use slip to paste a piece of roofing paper, cardboard or heavy wet burlap or something to the wheel first, then attach your clay and work it. Then when you want to pick up, say, a big flat plate, it doesn't flop all over because you just pick up the whole piece of roofing paper. Since you'll likely be the only person around who does this sort of thing, you can get some kind of "signature" paper that leaves a texture pressed into the bottom until you are ready to bisque, thereby marking it as yours.

Girl in my undergrad ceramics class stole a piece that had been made by another student with this type of pattern on the bottom. She hastily carved her name, then bisqued it real quick and tried to pass it off as hers. She got an F for the course for stealing someone else's work, then had the nerve to argue about it, whereupon it was noted on her transcript that the F was for cheating. The dumbest part--she had wanted to transfer to a "real" art school the next semester because she had flunked out of her science major, and the portfolio she had submitted to Moore, Pratt, Parsons, etc. was apparently good enough to get her in--except this F for cheating would mean she wasn't going to any art school anywhere.

oh that does suck

I used to use the wheel alot as you do it you will improve more and more it is all a matter of feeling the clay and all that comes with practice. There will be other bowls, maybe in the future you can take a pic of each one with your camera phone to show the teacher. Then figure out who the thief is and smash his work, or steal it which ever you like. Sorry but none of that will get your bowl back

but it may make you feel a bit better.
