Button and Textured Darted Mugs
I am going to make a mug with buttons on the seam to make it look like it is buttoned closed, and buttons on the handle. Also, I am making a textured mug where I cut up the slab first and add different textures to the pieces, then reassemble them.
Construction Process
I scrapped the textured mug, because the clay was too wet and it kept smushing. I made the button mug out of a slab, which I wrapped around a gelato container. I didn't smooth out the seam, because I want it to look like it is being held together by the buttons. I darted the bottom into a square, and I added a bottom and a foot. I made the handle by pulling the clay into a wide-ish strip. I made 3 regular round buttons, 1 square button, and 1 round wood-textured button.
