Beg. Ceramics: Teacup with a Twist

PROJECT EXPECTATIONS:
Addie's teacup
Create a cup with a handle AND a saucer... but not just any old cup and saucer.  They should be influenced by something found in nature.  This should reflect your own individual creativity, style, and personality.  “Diner-style” cups are not allowed!

You are expected to use at least two of the four techniques you have worked on this semester in conjuncture with each other: pinch, coil, slab, or wheel-thrown.  Your final teacup will also need to be glazed to be watertight. 


Come up with 2 designs.  Illustrate with color to indicate glaze choices and decoration.  Take your time on these sketches - they will be graded on completion and effort.


PROJECT EVALUATION:
1. Include a picture of your original drawn design
2. Include a picture of your finished teacup and saucer (photograph against a black background)
3. Which 2 techniques did you use?  Was it difficult using 2 different techniques in one piece?
4. Did your design change at all once you began working in clay
