This is a mug that I made last week, footed and attached the handle. I'm sort of proud of it I guess, other than the fact that the handle is starting to come off. I'm not sure if that's even fire-able, as it will probably be un-fixable after break is over. Oh well. I'll just make  a new one. I was hoping that it would be the first of a three-piece set of mugs, but maybe mugs aren't my forte :)

This is my wide form that I threw in the third week of class. I don't like this picture so much because it makes to lip look really deformed, but it looks normal in real life. This was pretty easy to throw, and I may go back and make another one just because the shape is kind of boring. Other than that, it's just a really simple form, and is wider than it is tall.

Here is my first wheel-thrown project, my tall form. The picture doesn't really do it much justice, but it is actually much taller than it is wide :). I was gone for the first week of class, so I was a bit behind in making all of my projects, but I'm proud of how this one came out. I haven't thrown in almost a year, and so it felt really nice to get back on the wheel and see that I still had the skills. The base is a bit thin, which is something I definitely need to work on.
