When making the cups, I mainly focused on shape and form because each cup needed to have a unique shape about it. I tried to put some element of movement in the shape to keep the eye traveling along the cup.
I learned a lot of things from this project, the biggest thing being patience. It took a long time for me to get used to making cups on the wheel and getting them tall enough. At one point I was really frustrated with myself, but I kept going and eventually I was able to get it. I also learned that the wheel is difficult and have gained an appreciation for how hard it is to make something that at first glance looks so simple.
This project was pretty interesting as is, and by interesting I mean hard, but one thing that could be added is a line design on at least one of the cups. But overall, it was fun and hopefully the end result will be a couple nice cups that can be useful around my house.
Here is a picture of some of my cups before I glazed them:
