Today, my sculpture, which is very important for my art grade, fell from my desk and broke to pieces. My art teacher suggested I soak the parts in water to make it easier to stick them back together. They dissolved. FML

Today, I accidentally dropped a sculpture at college, and it broke. Some weirdo wearing a pink cape and a fake moustache bitched me out and told me not to be such an attention-seeking drama queen. FML

Today, after spending eight weeks making a life-size clay Cocker Spaniel in class. I left it in the middle of a large table in the empty art classroom, ready to paint, and went to the bathroom for a minute. I came back to see two young girls shiftily running out of said classroom, walked in and it was in shards on the floor. FML

Today, my garage was flooded. Everything was ruined. My garage also happens to be my study, in which my entire art coursework was drying. My exam is tomorrow and all I have to hand in is a pile of mushy paper. FML

Today, I found out that my art project, the one I've been working on for the last two weeks and the first piece I felt really comfortable about turning in, was stolen out of the art cupboard. FML

Today, in art class, I tried to attract my crush's attention by slowly sitting down in front of him. Too bad I missed the chair and fell onto the floor. FML

Today, at my job at a ceramics store, I was loading a $300 statuette into a woman's car when I saw a dismembered foot in the trunk. I was so startled that I dropped the statuette and it shattered. Turns out the foot was fake and now my boss says I have to pay for the damage. FML

Today, I accidentally broke a vase. When I was clearing it up, I used my bare hand to sweep up the shards without thinking. I'm still fishing pieces of broken glass out of my hand. FML

Today, I had a great workout and was feeling really good about my body. Until I sat on my desk, and broke it. FML

Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML

Do you have time to remake it? If not your art teacher should understand. She was the one who suggested you soak them in water.

I just had two projects I need to pass my ceramics class explode because someone else's project blew up in the kiln

Tell your teacher what happened. They will likely give you time to remake it.

Hahahahahahaha. Well at least now the teacher is partly accountable.

Your teacher sucks. I'm assuming you were using clay? Past a certain point in the drying process, putting the clay in water will only make it dissolve. If it shattered, your sculpture was most likely past this point and glue would have been your best bet. I had a great teacher who actually taught me those things.

I am assuming this is clay. But the teacher and you should have known it would that.

A subtle and finicky art. But rewarding, none the less.

So why exactly didn't you use glue? Water isn't a goddam adhesive...

Water can make the material malleable again. But yes, glue probably would've been better.

I suppose but it would also make it smooth and lose it's shape depending how long it's been dry. Hell why not use duct tape...

Duct tape is the solution to everything, after all. Annoying mother-in-law? DUCT TAPE! Broken project? DUCT TAPE! Rat in your toilet? DUCT TAPE! Well, er...maybe not the last one.

I assume you worked with clay, which I haven't worked with in years, but if I had to guess, I'd say you were only supposed to soak the parts you were putting together. Why would you have to soak the whole piece? That sounds silly.
