9:25a.m.
I started painting the ombre again trying to blend the dark purple through,
When the rest of the team arrived I changed jobs and started to add filler to the podiums giving an even join and filling any nail holes.
Whilst waiting for the filler to cure, I joined the others with the ombre again for a small while.
After the filler had cured I started to sand the filler down however I have found I am allergic to the filler dust and so another student took over the sanding for me.
Whilst waiting for the podiums to all be dried and sanded, I took boards of MDF and measured out the bases of the podiums, and then added an extra 8cm on either side to help keep them balanced.
I then took these boards and cut them on the band saw.
I then helped the group who were painting to stand all 5 boards up together.
Before helping with the ombre for a while again. Today we were trying with sponges which gave a much better fade and finish than the brushes.
After this I went and primed the lattice with white emulsion,

I had to make a choice about whether or not to paint the inner pieces of the lattice, however we felt it looked crisper with them not being painting, (However I feel that when they are painted later, the paint will likely drip into these gaps.) Having already started painting a few of them, Once dried tomorrow I shall go over with some sand paper and clean them off. and then possibly if needed paint them black again. )
Once the lattice was primed, I was then able to get on and prime the podiums. a couple of other students were on hand for this and we were able to finish priming them relatively quickly, before moving them into the workroom for another student to attach the bases,
