AY POHTEK!

Teacups

Jar 3

So far my fave jar because of the colors. It’s underfired but I still like how it turned out.

Jar 1 

I wish II used more bright blue for this the glaze.

Jar 4

Ok I had a hard time lifting and choking but hahaha I made it!

Jar 2

Ok that was my carelessness. Sorry lips.

Plate 2 

This one is much better. I also like the drips because it looks like a face.

Plate 1

Ah yes, the plate. If I remember correctly this one was thrown during my birthday. So it’s my birthdaymate. This one is technically my second plate because the first one died due to incorrect dislodging. 

Bowl 5

The extra bowl! So our professor only required us to make 4 bowl but I wanted to make another one to make up for the sake bowl thing. I also made impressions using a fondue stick to make it look like a coral.

Glazes: white and tenmoku with tea dust 

Bowl 4

Again, I love widening and I love how the glaze turned out. It’s underfired but I still love the accidents. 

Bowl 3 

Still had a hard time lifting it but I did enjoy widening. I played a lot with the brush to get the glaze to turn out like that. 

Bowl 2 

It was supposed to be a bowl but it turned out to be a small sake cup. Hilarious.

Bowl 1

After throwing cups, we moved on to making bowls. I had a hard time centering for a long time. To my surprise, we discovered that I was actually a right kicker and not a leftie. When I was making cups I was kicking with my left foot the whole time. The pain. I wish I had known sooner.

Cup 4

Finally learned how to lift with this one. It wasn’t smooth but at least at got to the top and it’s a decent sized cup. 

Cup 3

Still no better. At least the bottom is smoother. I really had a hard time lifting back then. 

My second cup

Still too small and not tumbler sized. 

My first cup. 

This was the first time I got to use the wheel. It’s hilarious that the size required was as big as a tumbler and I made it as small as a teacup.
