Cups and Bowls
I began making cups and bowls recently when I was invited to a yunomi exhibit. Up until then my experience in making cups was usually confined to making a demonstration pinch bowl for my Ceramics 1 classes. Making a series of them for this exhibit became an unexpectedly delightful experience for me.
Each cup and bowl has two faces executed in different representational styles. Each face has a different pair of mood and expression. Each cup and bowl is made using a porcelain body, pinch technique and is fired to cone six. The cups and bowls are dented, pressed, textured to make them feel good in the user’s hands and to emphasize the expressions on each face.
