This was my first time taking ceramics. For the Art show I wanted to focus on mugs. I challenged myself to create a set of four cylinders. Since it is one of the most difficult forms to create it took a lot of practice. Even though it is not the best, if I continue to practice I could later fully master it. The theme for the mugs is "Family". I used a coat of underglaze for the font and a finishing touch of clear glaze. I used a black and white contrast so the words can be vivid. I also made a set of four plates. They have a smooth texture with a clear coat of glaze. I am excited to take ceramics next year.solid artist statement, maybe use more art vocab
