Yunomi (Japanese Tea Cups)

I tried my hand at making a few ‘Yunomi’. I love green tea in the evenings and usually have it from one of Andrew Walford’s Yunomi’s. I threw these from the hump and used really heavily grogged stoneware sculpture clay. Also throwing them all wonky and altering the form afterwards too – an experiment in organic modeling. I may fire these in the Te Hanui Anagama kiln  next month. Will see how they fare.
