THIS IS WHERE IT BEGINS

Illustrated is a simple porcelain cup with impressed decoration, this is one of many thrown cups used for testing as I upscale from test rings or pods, in essence, this is where it begins. This particular test is quite rudimentary; I am using cobalt and manganese in conjunction with the soda blue glaze to see what effects I end up with and how best to use these oxides as decoration. As with most testing, I am really just trying to establish a baseline for color, saturation and style, I’ll get back to you when or if I figure it out.
