I first made some 3D works and experimented by drawing form those forms into the sketchbook. I played with various ideas and drew different forms.

After analysing and planning out what form my set would take i moved on to experimenting with clay. I used a stoneware clay which is very good to hand build with. I rolled the clay into various thickness slabs and worked with those for the rest of the project by manipulating and shaping clay in different ways.

I also tried throwing cups on the wheel and then manipulating and changing the shape but it turned out to be very limiting and i went back to hand building.
