Ceramic Cup off to California!

Tomorrow I will be sending off this cup for the upcoming invitational show out at Sacramento City College, in Sacramento, California.  The dates for the show are:  November 17- December 8, 2015, at the Kondos Gallery on the campus of Sacramento City College.  If you are in the area you should check it out.  Unfortunately due to the classes I am teaching this semester, I won't be able to attend the opening, but it should be a great exhibit.  The cup was fired to cone six, with multiple firings below the maximum temperature.  The cup is created with food safe glaze lined in the interior and around the rim.  The exterior of the cup below the rim is not food safe and are sculptural glazes.

More Ceramic Cups?



I have been working on some ceramic cups for an upcoming exhibition, as well as for some gifts for the holidays.  The cups are all thrown on the wheel, using stoneware clay, and will be fired to cone 6, in an electric kiln.  I have been working on some new glazes, since the work I am creating needs to be functional, and have had some interesting results with some of the glazes.  I am still doing more tests and hopefully will have some results to post shortly of the finished work.  

Below are some images of the cups in progress.
