In this lesson, students will embark on a creative journey to craft a personalized mug infused with symbolic representations of cherished memories. Employing the hand-building technique of slab rolling, they will choose from three distinctive mug styles: conical, tankard, or bellied. Through the meticulous use of the sgraffito, students will skillfully etch planned and sketched imagery onto their mugs. The incised lines will then come to life with vibrant engobes, introducing both color and a seamlessly smooth surface to the final mug. To conclude the artistic process, students will expertly glaze their mugs, culminating in a thoughtful reflection on how their chosen memory is artfully symbolized on their unique creation.
