The coffee cup

Looking for more inspiration? Have you thought about making a cute coffee cup out of clay?

Throwing challenging shapes and sculpting original objects can be very exciting, but it is also worthwhile to occasionally pause to consider the most obvious forms. Like a mug, beaker, tankard, goblet or cup. As an avid coffee guzzler myself, I am rather quick to call it “the coffee cup,” but of course it can also hold tea, water or soup.

Possibilities, styles, types, shapes and colours abound. You’re sure to find one that suits you!
