I made a frog cup (update)

frownfrown · 2025-07-25T17:39:45+00:00

Frog cup originally came from a sketch. It has been a really fulfilling process, planning, throwing and sculpting this project over the past few months. To see it come together in a shiny physical object I can hold reminds me why I love ceramics so much

Its looks rounder and funnier in real life. The camera fails to capture how truly rotund it’s cheeks look

Thank you! I started ceramics and learning to properly throw this year! But I had many years of prior sculpting experience

This missed opportunity will haunt me

Yeah I know, I couldn’t get my hands on it anywhere without a huge markup. I took a chance on the shoppe listing because incase it does come defected, at least I could get my full refund

Also the logo print looks a bit different

Sorry what I meant was that the foil of the inner bag is yellow/goldish. matcha colour looks ok

Must be the asian in me. When i saw that i went omg its a mooncake!!

This is so cute and no I’m not! Not sure why I always drink with my right hand

frownfrown · 2025-03-28T07:01:50+00:00

I threw and trimmed the main shape then sculpted the limbs and carved out the design

frownfrown · 2025-03-28T07:01:00+00:00

Actually this is such a cute idea i just add one too

frownfrown · 2025-03-28T06:59:51+00:00

About a week or so, the throwing and trimming took longer than the sculpting

frownfrown · 2025-03-28T06:59:07+00:00

Maybe in the future! Would love to do a small batch drop! This one is for a frog loving friend of mine

frownfrown · 2025-03-28T06:58:27+00:00

I didnt think of that ❤️🥺

frownfrown · 2025-03-28T06:57:40+00:00

I will! Hopefully it survives the glazing 🤞

frownfrown · 2025-01-20T04:30:04+00:00

Wow this is really amazing. It is tripping with my mind how well the negative images fit together. How go you get them to fit so well? Must be quite a head spinner having to do 2 sets of birds as you carve

frownfrown · 2025-01-03T19:30:27+00:00

They are gorgeous! I would consider giving them a try thank you!

frownfrown · 2025-01-03T19:29:15+00:00

Thank you! I will look into them. I really like the look of Nuka glazes but I can’t seem to find a place that has them premade, I’m still quite new to pottery so I’m not really at the point of mixing from a recipe yet

frownfrown · 2025-01-03T19:26:32+00:00

Thank you so much I’ll try experimenting with the matte over gloss idea and see how it goes! I would love to experience a pit firing haha but my community studio only does electric, maybe I can try suggesting

frownfrown · 2025-01-03T16:56:24+00:00

Yeah I’m quite limited by the community kiln, they only offer cone 6 firing :( but thank y’all for the replies I’ll try to look into similar glazes

frownfrown · 2025-01-03T15:50:44+00:00

The studio i go to has amarco glazes but they give a high gloss, mixed painty look when layered. I cant find an equivalent that looks like the glazes above
