This was one of my favorite objects I made this semester. I thought of making a mug because I tend to drink lots of coffee in the morning and go through mugs like crazy, so I knew it would get lots of use. While creating the mug I stumbled upon a couple of issues. The issues I struggled with was that the clay was either way to wet or way to dry. In my test example my clay was way too dry to the point where when I carved it away it was dust. I was thankful I practiced before my actual art piece, so I knew how wet I like my clay. I used two studio habits of mind including envision, and develop craft. I had never used the technique sgraffito before, and I loved the way that other peers projects came out. When I was envisioning what I would like to make I had a reference picture next to my project so I could work off of some inspiration. I developed craft when I had not previously used the technique sgraffito and made two different art projects with my new skills. I found my inspiration off of pinterest, the images I found have unknown artist. If I were to change something about my projects I would spend more time on shaping my mug to make it less lopsided and spend less time on glazing. Another thing that i would take back and change would be how I glazed my little flower dish. I love the inside of the dish but the outside/bottom was a last minute idea and I hate how it looks. I would spend more time and come up with a more unique design.
