So I just got back from my ceramics class observation (Mary Ellen Salmon in Trumansburg) and am so happy that I got to sit in on her class! The class was full of people from all different levels and it made me feel better about myself because I am beginner at wheel throwing too. There is so much that I don't know about ceramics and being in a different environment than our classroom at school was helpful. She recommended that I read "The Book of Tea" which is all about the Japanese tea ceremony, so I definitely need to stop by Barnes and Noble and get that this weekend.
I took some pictures of the artwork in her gallery (some is Mary Ellen's and some is made by other local potters) and will use them for creative inspiration also.
I love love LOVE the gradient here and definitely want to incorporate that in my tea set somehow.
I think the flowers are a nice, classic touch to these cups and it would look good on my tea set.
The brown color here makes it look very authentic and traditional and that would look good for the tea set I have in mind.
