Cup Fiction

Cup Fiction is my glaze archive in the making.

Over the years I have experimented a lot with glazes and different combinations of materials. And yes, I also have a collection of flat test tiles, but glazes often behave differently on a curved surface than they do on a flat piece of clay.

At some point the need for an archive made of cups simply became too strong to ignore. So I gave in and started making cups. Lots of cups.

I also made porcelain stamps to mark them. Each cup gets its own number and a little note.

A small system to bring some order to the chaos of curiosity and unexpected discoveries. A little structure for my experiments, and a little peace of mind for myself.

The cups are kept in these boxes and the archive continues to grow.
