test pieces

All four sets of glazes


The cups with the test glaze pieces.


It has been a long process going through all the test with the glazes, recipe, temperature, oxidation and reduction.


The first set of glazes


Second set of glazes

 Third set of glazes


A sneak peak of the Oct SMALL pieces expo

Here are a few "couple cups" that are glazed with the same glaze but fired differently. 
The one on the left is oxidation and the right is reduction, in case you are interested. 

The concept is to let loose, from a tight base, sharp angle and clean cut base transform to a loose body. With the body I just let loose when I throw, let the clay be what it wants to be, there are groves for your finger to find and set in. 

The idea is that feeling from sitting up straight in the office on the office chair to going home and relax on your couch, I am hoping that would be the affect that it had on people when the hold the cup. The little special cup that you prefer to drink with, everything taste better in that cup.
