I'm so proud of my latest batch. It looks like 'real' pottery. This is one of my Galaxy Mugs.

I learned what are the hot commercial glazes combos this time around. I picked ones that should interact in cool ways. Given my chemistry/lab background, I know making my own is the next step... Pottery ... it's a slippery slope, folks.

I keep remembering that I can just make ... whatever ... It doesn't need to be 'functional' or have a 'purpose.' It can just be.

This is one of the first mugs I made in one of my six-week beginning wheel courses I took last year (I took 2). It's got a wonky handle but I loved their giant dipping glaze room!
