ceramics gone wrong

so today i went into class (ceramics) and KEVN came out of the kennel so i picked it up about to glaze it then his back pack fell off! his bag fell off and then broke off into 2 pieces. i guess i did a really crappy job scoring them together. my teacher said i can just put them together and hopefully the glaze will glue them... i hope it does. so i continued glazing kevn and when i finished with all the details (glasses, backpack, eyes, etc.) i wanted to put a layer of white/grey so i dipped my whole piece into what i thought was white i realized it was actually a glaze called K9 which comes out green/blue. so i had to clean it up as best as i could and do it over. i hope it comes out okay.

and now for some CERAMICS DONE RIGHT!

i saw this piece that someone sculpted. its freaking insane! this person got some mad skill.

    nooo! if you dip the whole thing in white/gray it'll mix in with the other glazes beneath it and become a weird glaze color.. double dipping in glaze = bad..

    the glazes under are actually oxides and we have glaze tests so we know how most of them are suppose to come out . so cross your fingers hope it doesnt come out like ass.
