Compare and Contrast: Both of my bone dry mugs are the same proportions and the handles are both the same size and will be able to support the mug when it is full. On my second mug the handle is more appealing, on the first one it is a little wonky and boring. Both of the designs kind of smoothed away when I connected the handles and got the cracks smoothed. The seams are connected and there are no visible holes where liquid will get through.
Problems: Some problems I faced when rolling out my slab included unevenness, distorted designs, cracks, and more. I tried to smooth it the best I could but the designs started to fade away. The lip and bottom are a bit rocky as well as the overall mug. I have learned from these mistake and will strive to do better on mug #3.
Texture: The tools and techniques I used to make the texture was simply by a rolling pin. On my next mug I plan to execute it better but to make these better I will add a textured glaze such as the matte one. Thee development of the texture shows that each time I do it I get better. which shows my advancement.
