It is important to take pieces off the wooden boards when they start to become leatherhard to ensure that they do not become to dry. I focused on balance with the cups so they were not too dramatic and had symmetry. I learned how to use the wheel better through this project. If I could fix it I would make my line designs go deeper into the cup because after I glazed them they are not visible anymore.

I am working on the cup project, I have made five cups on the wheel so far. Coming up with ideas for what the cup should look like is the hardest part of the project, but otherwise it's pretty simple.
