This project is a cup that was thrown on a wheel, with a handle that was pulled from a strip of clay. The base is narrow, and it moves up with straight walls, and a slight lip on the top. The glaze on this project was somewhat of a disaster. The first time in the glaze kiln, I wanted the outside to be blue with the inside white. However it came out splotchy and with many parts on the outside without glaze. I ran it again with white to cover the wholes, however this didn't help much as it was not thick enough. I ran it then a third time. The certain value is shown in the many spots of white contrasting the blue background. This also creates movements in the eye focusing on these contrasting spots. I believe I learned a valuable skill in this project in that I need to create a balance in my projects between using too much clay, and too little. However these white spots from the mistake I made are also probably my favorite parts because of how different they are.
