Ceramics class! I made a trio of mugs, two of which are marbled, and I started on one of these donut shaped jugs that I was reading about on Wikipedia. That donut is hollow
I also got back the bowk that I threw out of Salton Sea clay. Unfortunately, it did not survive midfiring intact. It didn't quite melt. It just got soft and flopped down like a pancake.
The color is gorgeous though and the pumice-like bubbling is super interesting. I'm going to throw something else out of it and we're going to try firing it to cone 3 to see if it survives that
They were made in this shape supposedly because you can tie a rope through them or hang them from the horn of a saddle. I just thought it would be a fun challenge
The marbled mugs came back from bisque firing today as well. I glazed these with a simple flat white glaze in a thin coat that will let the colors of the underlying clay bleed through
