Teacups for Leo


In real life (away from clay) I work at a video game studio. Part of my work there involves liaising between technical artists and my group of programmers. Every two weeks on Fridays we celebrate our pay day by electing one poor computer geek to prepare some kind of dessert for the group. Last Friday was my turn.

Now, I'm an alright cook - I do the majority of the cooking for my wife and I, but when it comes to sweets she rules this roost. So, the extent of my contribution to the Friday payday morning dessert was supplying the vessels for my wifes excellent coffee mousse. (It's awesome and easy.) The reason I bring this up is that the technical director for the central art team was quite taken with the ash glazed teacups that I produced for my test cases during the winter. He liked the glossy black with green ash on top so he asked me for a set.

So, I finally got off my butt, cleaned up the studio and threw a board of yunomi for Leo. Here they are, I'll probably throw another board later as these didn't come out at all similar. He asked for six and while he said he doesn't care if they're identical these are mostly unacceptly unique to each other.
