Cup making with all the clays

The above shows what we ended up with, and below shows how I made them. I am struck by the beautiful array of colours and the different clay textures. Some of the clays are difficult to throw with, which is partly why I chose this simple shape, but also because the shape is in keeping with the straight-forward nature of Country Pottery. The cups will be glazed inside and just a little over the rim - putting your lip against an unglazed clay surface can feel unpleasant, such is the sensitivity of our mouths and what we are used to.
