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.
