Week 6 is our last week at Terrapin before workshop starts and yesterday was our last day there as we have a field trip tomorrow. Yay! So it was quite a random day as we strove to finish all our work as we come back here after three weeks.
From the tool mastery component I got blade sharpening off my list and started shaving the bamboo for our basket into thinner strips to take back home as they'll get dry here. So we need to soak them in water and start weaving as soon as possible. As I speak, they are lying in a bucket of water, just soaking away.
Also, we finally finished our bigger dome. We had to make the mud mix a couple of times, but finally completed it. We put bottles on top, made two entrances, an overhead porch sort of thing for the upper entrance to stop water from coming in. We didn't fix the ramp as yet as we still fear for its safety from the rabbits and plus we're coming after three weeks, so it should look pretty for the final unveiling. We covered the structure with tarpaulin and are looking forward to seeing it soon.
Kinnary and I shall finish the basket by then. If we run out of bamboo, we'll have to wait till we go back after workshop obviously. Also there was a sculpture element in our class yesterday as we proceeded to make small mud sculptures from a rice husk mud mix. Our crew sadly couldn't join as we had to finish our structure. But it was fun all the same to see all the things everyone had made.
Looking forward to Hosur, plastering and obviously the awesome pool!!
