Leatherwork Patterns

While I was teaching at Brighton High School last year I found an old leather working book. I decided to use the patterns from the book and require carving into the surface of clay as an assignment. I created this mug as an example. I used soft slab technique wraping a slab of clay around a cylinder. The glaze is a cone 10 Laguna product called blue-brown. I sprayed cobalt carbonate lightly over the glaze.
