Sculpture. Our first assignment it to create 2 mugs- one of our own technique and one taught to us. I did my own technique first so I would have have the influence of the other one. This was much harder then it looks. When you are creating additive sculpture you are usually adding clay to a mass. With this there was a hollow area inside making it difficult to add clay. I ended up creating a solid cylinder and the carving the center out. Much easier then my first try (which I scrapped) that I tried to create using a coil method. Hopefully the next one will go smoother.
On a different note, I made the most delicious soup tonight. While reading Prevention Magazine at work today I stumbled across a recipe for Asparagus Avocado Soup. Soo soo yummy. I used fresh locally grown produce and it turned out so well. If you are interested here is the recipe-
