“Bobaaa Tumblers” 6” x 3.25” Δ6 stoneware Wheel thrown, hand painted, overglaze decal Sometimes I make functional ware. I don’t throw very often but I do enjoy it. To make these Bobaaa tumblers, I bought some bamboo lids and measured the inside diameter. Then I increased that number to account for the clay’s shrinkage. Then I designed a big round goofy sheep logo and sent it off to a custom decal printer. Then I threw a bunch of tumblers and hand painted the milk color, then hand painted each boba pearl and fired to Δ04. Then I waxed each boba pearl and added a little ring of diluted color to make it look like the pearls are dissolving a bit. Then I fired to Δ06 to burn off the wax and set the last layer of color. Then I glaze fired to Δ6. Then I applied the decals and did the decal firing. Now everything I drink looks like Bobaaa Tea to the casual observer! #bobatea #handmadetumblers #wheelthrowntumbler #ceramictravelcup #roundsheep #bobaaa #originalartwork
