Hi friends!! Wanted to share this pot I’m super proud of. I’ve been hand building for a few years, but just started throwing this spring. This is the fourth mug I’ve ever thrown, and the first I’ve been even remotely happy with.
I spent forever on carving it, and this was my first time using commercial glazes! It’s 3x Smokey Merlot under 2x Iron Lustre.
As you all know, progress feels really slow with pottery sometimes, especially on the wheel. And as someone who started off as strictly a handbuilder, I’ve been tempted MANY times to give up throwing altogether. But seeing how far I’ve come in just a few months is so encouraging!

love the carving! on pieces with a lot of texture, i love doing black under something that coheres well, usually makes all the edges pop
Beautiful carving and texture. Great job OP! 💪🏻
Thanks so much!!
