I This is a little mug I made when using the slab cup method. It didn't come out looking quite as I would have liked, but it is my first time. I plan on making another cup that looks nicer, however I will still love this mug because it is my first, and we all have to start somewhere. I rolled the clay (which I had to learn how to do) out into a flat slab. I then cut the shape needed for the cup out. After I had my shape I attempted to put a design in it, then using a rolling pin I made it into a cup. I then cut a little strip of clay and made the handle. After assembling all parts of my cup together and firing it, I began to glaze. I used turquoise, white, mystery blue, shatter green, and clear glaze on this cup. Unfortunately the glaze didn't come out very smoothly. I get an overall mood of messy enchantment from this cup. The messy of course because this cup is kind of a mess, but that's okay because it relates to me in that way. I get the enchantment because of the design on the cup. When I look at it and the color of the inside I think of an enchanted sea.
