2 mugs - dundee, reduction fired, wheel thrown

 These are my favorite pieces of the semester.  I'm starting to get some good glaze results.  These cups were thrown separately from nearly 2lbs of clay and then the handles were pulled and attached.  Glaze is clear over woo interior and pearl/MD shino and temmoku/pearl exterior.  The contrast in color and texture (thick and drippy vs thin and creamy smooth) outer surface is very interesting.  Clear/woo combination looks dark and rich on dundee and I like how the thickly glazed bottom looks gem-like, almost as if glass shards were melted into the bottom of the cup.  I made 2 more cups in 4th semester - hopefully they will turn out similarily.
