Set of Three Coffee Mugs

After practicing throwing coffee mugs from the book "A Potter's Workbook" by Clary Ilian, I began to throw this form, which placed emphasis on volume, line, and height. This was one of my first sets of coffee mugs, so the handles on the mugs are not placed in the best area. The patterns are a translated form of kolam designs, which are a common pattern in South Indian culture. I was influenced by Steven Hill's glaze combinations, so I used oribe green and orange shino. The lines are created by trailing St. John's Black glaze on the forms. Overall, my main success was in throwing a form, which I have incorporated into the coffee mugs I am throwing now.
