Pinch Pot Teacups

Below you will find the evolution of my design process for the ceramic teacups.  They are made by hand, not wheel-thrown, using white stoneware clay.  I begin with a pinch pot, scraping away the interior and exterior until I achieve a fine form.  I then add handle and base.  The shape of these has changed many times as I look for the right combination.  I am now experimenting with engraving into the clay (sgraffito) and slip trailing for decoration.
