Reflection and Future Ideation

I found it harder in this project to get what was in my mind out into a physical object compared to the Cup of Tea project. I think the reason was because there was an extra layer of complexity added in that you needed to make the model in Fusion360 first, which will naturally distort what you had on paper (since I am new to the tool) and then, on top of that, you had to get clay packed onto the model as best to spec as possible.

That said, I appreciated that the clay allowed us to play with shapes and curves that we could not do in acrylic. Though it was rather fragile, I found the clay to be a very accommodating medium, where you could constantly do and redo the forms.

Next steps, I will likely take to prepare it for casting is to further smooth the handle down and work on making the scored grips more defined.
