As part of our last class, my students participated in a fun little “white elephant” trading-exchanging-stealing game with sets of two matching mugs. They received the challenge early on this session… and for the most part… everyone did an AMAZING job!!! There were just a couple who didn’t quite finish the challenge?!… but still played the game!
CHRISTINE’s set of matching mugs…
MICHELLE’s set of matching mugs…
KATE’s set of matching mugs…
PATTY’s set of matching mugs…
KATIE’s set of matching mugs…
CATHERINE’s set of matching mugs…
And a little close-up to show the subtle detail of Catherine’s glazing on porcelain.
JACOB’s set of matching mugs…
DAN’s set of matching mugs…
CASEY’s set of matching mugs…
TINA’s set of matching mugs…
Oh wait… just to show the scale of Tina’s teeny-tiny cutie-patooties…
DANIELLE’s’s set of matching mugs… with a wonderful theme… which coincidentally
& ironically is the set that I ended up with and took home with me last night.
It seemed only fitting!!!
ASHLEY’s set of matching mugs… err, well, just one.
The “matching” mug didn’t quite come out of the kiln in time.
So Ashley’s mug came with an IOU for the second one!
SUSAN’s set of matching mugs…
And yes, Susan is my teaching assistant… which explains the perfect set of matched porcelain mugs with a striking black underglaze geometric design!
JOSE’s set of matching mugs… oh well… a pretty little trio of blue bowls and not mugs?!
ALLISON’s set of matching mugs… err, a nice vase… as apparently Allison didn’t get her cups done in time. I know she’s made a lot of mugs this session, but apparently didn’t get her matching set done in time for class. I think time kinda slipped away from her!
All in all, a wonderful way to celebrate the last class of the session. They all did such a wonderful job. And stepped up to the challenge of “MATCHING” which is not an easy task to take on!
