More throwing off the hump! This time a set of teacups. They are semi-close to being identical. Throwing off the hump goes so fast so it helps to use your fingers and hands as measures for the dimensions of the piece as you are throwing, rather than take out calipers which slows down the whole process and defeats the purpose from throwing off the hump - well still need to practice more. I also learned to pull handles from clay and attach them after trimming the pieces when leather hard. The glazing is green with toffee over rim inside and temmoku outside with green crystal and toffee brush work. The brush work was supposed to be spring blossoms, but needs to be more delicate.
Someone said it more resembles fungus - haha. I'll get better. Anyway the cups are good size and I like how the interior color turned out.
