When researching this assignment I looked a lot at Hayne Bayless' work. I really love the non-circular shapes of a lot of his work. I like the corners while still being able to not be perfect geometric shapes.






  

For my designs I think I would like to have square shaped dinnerware with a similar bowl to those pictured above, for my tumblers I was thinking it would look nice if I transitioned to a square at the bottom and the lip at the top would be a circle, also possibly thinking about a pyramid shape. The only problem with that would be making sure it didn't turn out too bottom heavy, it might be difficult to drink out of if the bottom ends up too large.
