Cups

A few more images from the studio today. Below are handle blanks ready to be attached to cups.

Here are the cups. They were made yesterday and have been drying. I usually turn them upside down as soon as I can to help even out the drying. They are ready for their handles.

And here they are. I love to make cups. It took me along time to really like them. Seven years. I remember when it all came together for me and my cups. Learning to make a good handle was a big part of it, and paying attention to the volume and gesture. I still make some not so great ones but I strive to be a good cup maker. Hopefully the rest of my pots are following suit.
