This is my journal documenting an ongoing creative endeavor sustained by a single underlying current with 100 momentary breaks, each indicated by an individual porcelain cup which reveals both continuity and uniqueness in the way the pot is thrown, the handle is pulled and wrapped,
and the form is carved and sculpted. Each piece is photographed in its raw
porcelain clay state before being fired or glazed. If you would like to follow the progression from Cup #1, scroll down and click "Older Posts" or begin at the Blog Archive "2010", "March".

The 100 Cups collection is available for exhibition.

Cup #53...after....the transformation

Two hours (and a lot of trust) later. Simple flowing in which the cup becomes handle and the handle becomes cup....

  1. Julia, a chef-d'oeuvre! My favorite, so far......
    The handle looks like an ear with a very long lobe, it reminds me of Dalí.

  2. GREAT flow in the handle. The contours along the top and bottom make me think of droplets of rainwater forming along the underside of an object. lovely movement.

  5. It's like a wind-carved drift of snow, the form expressing swirling motion. I don't think I've ever seen clay so alive. It makes me want to dance!
