In progress For my mug set project so far I have only been able to make my mug. I made the tripod mug and decided to make the theme halloween. I carven a bat, pumpkin, and ghost into my mug to go with the theme. When I begin my tray to go with the mug it will also have a halloween “basics” theme. Finished set Process When making this piece I started by just making the general shape of my mug (tripod), and the shape of my tray set which was more of a bowl. After making the general piece I began to work on the design. When we started these it was around halloween so I decided I wanted it to be halloween themed. I made the characters on the mug to represent characters of halloween, and just did a fun color representation of the holiday on the tray. After creating these designs I worked on getting the details really specific on the pieces, using mainly my needle tool then had the pieces fired. I decided to just stick with a few colors for the pieces and kept them dark halloween colors when glazing it. After glazing then I used them for food and drink, and they worked great! The style of my handle was just a traditional handle. I used a long piece of clay and a sponge to smooth out the clay and shape it into a thing traditional handle. I found this piece successful in several ways. I think that the color combination worked really well together and really brought out the designs. I also really liked the shape of my tray because I think it was different with the contrast of the size of walls. If I were to do this again I think I would try to work on making the shape of the mug a little cleaner. Creating the tripod was difficult for me and I believe it really threw off the shape of the mug, so I would work on doing better on that.
