coffee AND tea :)

I REALLY like this design idea, the forms are so stark especially on the white and they just have such a great character.

The form is so clean and nice on this cup and I appreciate how the glaze is simple so that beautiful form and handle can be the focus.
I like how the handles are horizontal and what that means its function was for, very interesting especially with the art.
I love the color that comes out of this and how it works with the basic form, the art is really great too with the way it moves around the cup.

bowls round two

I have to say not only do I like the shape and foot ratio, especially how its a straight line from the lip to the foot almost, but I also really like the glaze.

This is such a cool foot! I love the form running parallel to the foot and how it creates a heavy look.
I feel that this pieces art is very successful, I really appreciate how the cherries are weighted and the branches are bending with the form of the tea pots belly, I also like how it overlaps the yellow spot.
The color scheme of these pieces is fun and I enjoy the flip flop of colors which gives it a festive off beat feel, especially since they are square.



roll fold and dart

I like the form in this piece because of its high walls and how the edges give it even more lift.
I love the different shape and how all the pieces are coherent yet have different versions of the design, its accentuates the form by having geometric lines and some rounded like the platter itself.
I really like this one too of his, its fun seeing the foot and how it plays with the form and how shallow it is.
I think this one is my favorite by far, the weight of the piece is so satisfying to me. I'm trying to imagine how to go about making it and cant seem to figure out which way would be best.




first bowls

I really enjoy the form of these bowls, with its ratio of foot and depth/width of the bowl, the design is also very nice and cohesive.
I also found the art work on these to be very beautiful and that it's interesting that someone would have wanted these made because of the hero depicted.
The bowls with the hand made lips to pour and such were really interesting too, makes me want to brainstorm some ideas to add form to a wheel object.

Sarah H. - Cups Blog

 I like this cup because of it's simple shape and intricate decoration. The detailed painting seems to depict a fable or story, which is interesting. I personally really like non-handled drinking cups.
 I picked this cup because I like the ornateness. The handle does not seem functional, but it adds a lot visually. The children on the handle are pretty interesting, and I would like to know about the history and inspiration behind that.
 I simply adore these mugs. I first of all love the shape. The handle are fun and quirky. I also love the colors and design. The stripes and polka dots are cute but the colors keep it from being childish or silly.
 This cup is so beautiful. it is a great size and shape, but mostly I love the colors. The light aqua and deep red are great contrasts and the white stripes add a great visual effect. The streakiness of the red is gorgeous.
