jug and mug


Both thrown in earthenware. The mug was painted with white slip, and then black slip flicked on using a paintbrush (brush didn't touch the cup), which left a black streak like a dead worm. Then glazed with earthenware transparent glaze. 

The jug was glazed in creamy titanium - this can look really simple and lovely, but I wasn't careful enough with the glazing here - you can see the fingermarks - and the jug has ended up looking a bit scrappy and dirty as a result. Maybe I should have used glazing tongs.
