New Shape

Monday is Studio Day where the Associates work for the studio helping to make the production range Terra Australis. It is also a day of cleaning, reconstituting clay, vacuuming kilns any job that needs doing really. Lucky for us we finished up mid-afternoon which allowed me to start working on some of my own work.

I really like the shape of this teacup from my parents' old Noritake dinner service (before it was relegated to the back of the cupboard and the ubiquitous Corelle took over). This is my first try at replicating it. The foot needs to be trimmed so it will be a bit narrower at the base but I think there is more work yet to be done. I will spend the next two days trying again and again and again until I'm happy with it. Then I need to get the handle right.
