When I put it up on a board, it's there because I like it. Otherwise I wouldn't keep it. But once it's trimmed and handled the shortcomings become very evident. I wonder how many mugs you have to make before you can do them well.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547166972371240909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-90957542796556247502008-08-07T22:00:00.000-04:002008-08-07T22:00:00.000-04:00Great mugs Deb!

It's more difficult - for me - to throw one pound of clay. And such a small piece means every design decision is crucial. I think throwing many mugs with subtle changes is the best way to critique your own forms. And I agree with all of your assessments -- mug #1 is my favorite too. - JudyJudy Shrevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817638135856406785noreply@blogger.com
