soft slab construction

The project we were assigned to make was a set of matching mugs or jars. They had to be similar in one way, color, shape, mug size ETC. I decided to make 4 mugs that were dark blue on the outside, and white on the inside. I decided all my handle sizes would be different because I wanted to explore different handle sizes.

The way I created my mugs, was, I rolled out slabs and let them sit for a bit, just to harden a little bit. I then created the handles with the pulling technique. once that was all attached and ready to go, it was fired. Then I put my glazes on.

The way I took this project was I wanted to create something purposeful and useful. It was my idea, that these would be used as drinking mugs. If I were to do this again, I would make sure the rim of my mug is smoothed out before firing. Something I like about my mugs is the colors that I decided on.
