Pottery Summer 2017
I am not using Photobucket any more. Nope nope nope....
I uploaded everything to Flikr, then later remembered I have a DeviantArt account. Bah. Oh, well....
So two cup-n-saucer sets. Two chocolate pot sets. The chocolate pot is different from a tea or coffee pot. Tea or coffee has the base of the spout low, but chocolate pots are supposed to have the spout by the top. Plus they have the handle on the side. I tried this on one pot, and I don't think it really works right. Anyway......
The first is Winokur Clear Blue, with a (I think) Creamy White shell 'button'.
Celadon glazed cup, with a shino shell.
The first chocolate pot set, Geometric.....
The saucers came about because I didn't realize how wobbly the cups could be, after I added the handles. I was worried they would fall over in the kiln, and stick to the shelf, so hence the saucers.
The pot. The side handle didn't adhere properly, and there is a crack between it and the body of the pot. I'm not sure if it would still hold if I put water in it, or not. I added the second handle, just because I was worried about how that side handle would hold.
The triangle cup with saucer
The square cup with saucer
And this pattern that I came up with, that I've been using a lot.
I think I've decided that they are alien monks, but the pattern came after staring at a lot of Southwestern Native pottery all day.
Of course I had to continue with the cup and saucer theme.
The pot itself, unfortunately, the top is stuck....
Darn, I just realized that I never took pictures of the cups themselves.
I'm taking pottery class again this semester. I'll see how things go, as we are doing a lower firing, cone 6, rather than cone 10.
