10 cup ideas- Cashman


Beatrice Wood's forms appear deceivingly simple yet, very intriguing. I'm curious to attempt to make them. With the work of Betty Woodman it was her use of color that drew my attention as well as the scale of her work. The other two cups seen are were just more unusual and I had never seen anything like them before. The one on the bottom in particular looks to be piece made with the joints still visible. I wonder if that is actually the case.

60(+) cups due SUNDAY April 20th

***PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE DATES ON YOUR ORIGINAL ASSIGNMENT!! YOU HAVE UNTIL SUNDAY APRIL 20TH TO COMPLETE YOUR 60 CUPS!!

 SIP & POUR:
Think about how cups are used.: Who uses a handmade cup? What shapes are better for certain situations and drinks than others? How can a cup hold its own as an art piece? What make a good cup? 30 thrown cups 30 slipcast cups You numbers can move around as needed and as your skill dictates. If you like you can also handbuild up to 10 cups. We will address handles and also extend the idea of liquids to include spouts.
