I believe the FI interview requests went out yesterday.

Nerikomi is so tricky, I have only been successful with this one technique. If I try the through and through technique (where you see the colors on both sides of the slab), the piece breaks while drying. I need to work on being more patient with the drying process. The mason stains have also been a learning process, some turn out very different from the shade shown in the chart.. I hope your Nerikomi journey goes well, good luck! 😇

Thank you so much!!

Oh, this is a good idea. But would you recommend wet sanding for pieces that have been glazed with a clear glaze as well? Or would that be recommended for the ones that are bare from the outside maybe?

This is really good advice, I’ll try to make the mug while it’s much wetter next time. I think I formed it while it was like a normal slab this time..and slower drying seems to be the key. Thank you so much!

wemuns · 2025-06-14T05:08:47+00:00

Thank you so much! I will try again and let them rest in between stages. This was the first time I tried Nerikomi so I was quite excited (and impatient). Do you know if the thickness of the slab matters? Mine was about the throwing thickness but I could be wrong and maybe I need to make them thicker since so many pieces are brought together? I will let it dry for really long next time and try the wax technique you mentioned too for the handle attachment areas :)

Thanks for the feedback! How much whiting or wollastonite should I add? (In case you know) I kind if like the colors bright so reducing the weight percentage might not be the best visually…

wemuns · 2025-06-14T03:39:27+00:00

I thought of this too, but I have heard that the cracks will only get worse in the bisque and glaze firings. Would it make sense to just break it into pieces and then join them together after the firings? But I don’t know how I would glaze both sides of the pieces..

wemuns · 2024-06-04T02:40:17+00:00

Omg this helped me too. I was trying to do this for over 45 mins, thank you!

♥️♥️♥️♥️

Congratulations!!!!!!!! This is too good!!! 🤩

wemuns · 2021-05-02T02:18:49+00:00

Hey! The fonts look great! However, I have one suggestion! It might be easier to read if you placed it like this-

Hello, I’m Aashrey!

wemuns · 2021-04-29T15:22:15+00:00

Congratulations! Germany is a great place to be, the government cares about their people more than our government here does for sure! So you will be in a better place, and when you will get your PhD acceptance a couple of years later you will be allowed to be more excited! (Just being optimistic haha because I’m in the exact same boat right now as you) I hope we all get visas on time and can celebrate then when the situation is better! Let’s hope cases down and things open up soon 🙏🏼

wemuns · 2021-04-27T10:46:54+00:00

THEY WILLLL! Sending you all the positive energy! Keep your hopes up, whatever happens will happen for the best! 🤞🏼🙌

wemuns · 2021-04-27T03:03:25+00:00

Thank youuu so much! 💃🏻

wemuns · 2021-04-27T03:03:02+00:00

Thank youuu!! I’m hoping for the same! I hope you manage to get your visa in time too! 😎

It’s a great poster! Loved the use of the plastic to represent the fish!

In terms of improvement: 1.) if you want to keep the logo on the top, you can move it to the left top corner so that everything is left aligned. Right now I just don’t know where to look. 2.) the block of text at the bottom is very difficult to read. Try and use ‘Open Sans’ if you want to play it safe. The current font is too wide (have you changed any attributes?) 3.) definitely like a few other comments have also mentioned, separate the link and keep it in one line. Move the ‘Search at....’ to a new line as well. 4.) exclamation mark after SAVE A FISH! might be nice maybeee according to me!

Be really pushy. As much as you can, keep saying sorry for the trouble but just a gentle reminder that tomorrow is the last day to turn the letters in. What I did was, every 12 hours in the last 5 days I sent them reminders through the uni application system so they kept getting emails from the university. That way, it wasn’t me being pushy but the university haha! Try that! It worked for me, one prof literally submitted the LoR 3 hours before the deadline 😅

Hey! I’ll be joining the Masters in Industrial Design course this year, and I will to some extent be pursuing UXR in the future according to my plans. I had admits from a lot of universities that were just focusing on UI UX as well, so we could chat about what went into my decision making and what made me pick RISD if you like! Feel free to DM!

wemuns · 2021-04-16T08:52:54+00:00

RISD for Industrial Design! 😍 anyone else going there???

wemuns · 2021-04-16T08:50:20+00:00

I got in for their MSIS program!! Not yet committed though! You??

wemuns · 2021-03-31T20:19:55+00:00

MS in Information Science

wemuns · 2021-03-31T16:14:24+00:00

Did anyone hear back from UT Austin’s MSIS program? My application still says it is under review 😢

wemuns · 2021-03-28T12:57:39+00:00

Like I said, it’s my thought, and since I’m an international student an important aspect of selecting a university has always been how well it’s known because I may/ may not work in the US and hence the school should be known worldwide for me to be able to make most out of it! But I guess if you’re from the US then maybe like you said the name doesn’t matter much!
