Slab Mugs

The thought behind my slab mug was that I was going to create one with and one without a handle. My work was made using white clay that rolled out flat into a slab then lifted and shaped it into a mug. I chose to create this specific piece because I wanted to have 2 very different mugs.

I used contrast in the glazes because I used 2 different colors one on the outside of each mug and different one on the inside of the mugs. My project evolved from a solid block of clay into a slab that I later shaped to create the mugs.

The meaning behind my artwork is to create something that shows what can be done with clay. My project relates to my life because I have been drinking coffee for the past 2 years. I think my artwork could be stronger if I had the chance to start over and improve upon what need to be worked on.
