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 has been acquired by the Haan Museum of Indiana Art in Lafayette, Indiana.

The cup leafs open and the handle emerges...again the cup nests in the base and its rounded bottom is visible just below the carved sweep of the base

Cup #74

Celebration...the lively handle enfolds the cup which nests within it and emerges from it. Look closely at the very rounded bottom of the cup that is just visible through the cut-out sweep of the base. (click on the cup to enlarge it and get a better view)

Cup #72

This cup came off of the potter's wheel with three pulsating ridges (still evident) to mark the visit to my studio of two women friends from my writing group and the reunion of the three of us....it then began to break into more unexpected ridges a few days later, (when it was time to attach the handle and sculpt), during a visit from another writer who plans to do an article on this project...it did become a very energetic and complicated little cup.
