Explain the process of the mug. (start to finish)I started by rolling out a clay slab. I then used my texture pieces to make sections of the clay with different textures. I then tried to make stitch-looking things in between the sections to make it look like patches. I then glazed it based on a friend's jacket and its color scheme. I should have done under glaze so that it is easier to see the stitches instead of simply clear glaze, but then it was fired and done. What style did you do the handle as? How did you make it?I don't have a handle on my mug. I was out sick for a week so honestly it's a miracle that my mug wasn't bone dry by time I got back. If I had a handle, then I would have carried the pattern of the patches to the handle as well. What do you find successful? What might you change if you were to make it again?I think that the different physical textures are very successful. It's fun to run a finger along it and feel how different each patch is. I also think the color scheme is successful to some degree, I think having a grey would have worked a little better with it, but there was no grey glaze. I would change a whole lot of things if I were to make it again. Firstly, I would add a handle. Secondly, I would have used some black under glaze in the stitches and then clear over it so that it's easier to tell they are stitches. I'd try to smooth it out a little more, the top is kind of wonky. Lastly, I would do more coats of glaze. This was meant as a gift for a friend and her birthday is really close, so I took it home instead of touching it up, and to be honest I'm kind of tired of looking at this mug. I've been working on it for a very long time and I grew really sick of it. Define: Clay SlabWhen you put a lump of clay through a slab roller and get a flat piece of clay. This slab can be used to make your artwork.

I was absent for the tripod mug handle demonstration as well as the Greek potter paper story
Byeong Doo MoonByeong Doo Moon is a South Korean artist. They have won the Allens Arthur Robinson People’s Choice Prize for their amazing deer sculpture. They don’t make much of a public appearance as they no website and I can't seem to find a gender or any real information about this artist. Both of these pieces were made for an event in Sydney called Sculpture By the Sea. They use stainless steel for their sculptures. Why I Chose ThemFirstly, the mystery of this artist is interesting to me. I mean, it's crazy that I can't really find any information on them. As far as their art goes, I think it's amazing. I am a huge fan of animals, and I don't know anything about sculpting with steel. I think it gives them such a unique look and texture. I also love how this artist titles their pieces. The peacock is called "Our Memory in Your Place" and the deer is called "I Have Been Dreaming to be a Tree." The titles seem so reflective and it really adds to the pieces. You're left thinking about the meaning and what the artist was thinking when they made it.
Pictures (in order): fur, cloud, rock Struggles With the ClayI think the easiest one for me was the fur texture, I really just scratched the clay. The rock was hard to conceptualize, until I used an actual rock. The cloud was definitely the hardest one, and I know I didn't nail it 100%. I basically just used a tool with a circular tip and twirled it around in the clay until it looked somewhat cloud-ish.
