Timeless Tea

Class of 2024
For my fall 2021 collection, I created a tea set containing 2 plates, two teacups, and a bowl. I decided to choose this concept after coming across the tea set I had as a kid. All of my pieces are wheel thrown with some carving detail on the plate and bowl, and a sculpted handle on the cups. For my glazes, I dipped only the outside of the bowl and cup in white, then painted a blue glaze on the inside. For the plate, I first dipped it in white, then painted the same blue color over the carved lines so they would be more visible. I hope the viewers are reminded of the simpler times when a pretend tea party could occupy them for hours.
