Personal Awareness and Responsibility

In Ceramics I can express my ideas through my pieces whether that is emotionally or through shapes and texture. Making the mood mug, I decided to have my mug to have a “mellow” emotion. Making this mug came with a lot of thinking. My past project had cracked in half because I did not carefully check the thickness of the journal cover. Knowing that it could have a negative outcome like the past project, I adjusted my actions when making the mug. I tried not to rush the process of making the mug shape and slab roll. I also made sure my actions of adding facial elements onto the mug were carefully placed and attached to avoid heaviness onto the piece. I appreciate feedback on my pieces and for this mug specifically, I had feedback in choosing the right glaze colours. Next time, I will keep the feedback in mind and carefully choose my glaze colours through research to have positive outcomes.
