This a hand and wheel project. it is a basic cylinder with a handle, a mug, in which i transformed into a penguin. I used slipping and scoring in order to construct his features and glazed them based on what color the part of the penguin would usually be. For example I glazed the body black, the belly and eyes white, the feet and the beak orange, and the details on the eyes turquoise with a dot of dark blue stain. This allowed the character to really come to life, and with the addition of the penguin's features to the mug it added texture and a 3-dimensional effect to the simple mug. I also put ridges on the cylinder to add to the texture of the project. This gave the mug a unique look to it by making it look more homemade.
