A couple of mugs with a heavy textured pattern for the wood fire
And a bowl that I plan on making a mold from
the end.Considering that I was a stay at home dad by day and a part-time sales associate at the dollar tree by night this summer (don’t even think about stealing my movie idea Hollywood!) , I feel like what little time I spent at the studio was productive. I was able to make some molds and quite a few pots.
Here are some mugs, the cups are casts from a mold I made this summer and the handles are pulled and attached afterward. Another good thing about casting is I have plenty of opportunities to ruin the mugs with bad handles before I get it right, that is if I ever get it right.
One long night I was thinking of a way to make a left handed mug, don’t ask me why, I was very tired. But this is what I came up with, if you try to drink out of this mug with your right hand the drawer will slid out.
Sometimes you just have to try
This is what I came up with for the exchange. I had a hard time dealing with high iron clay bodies so everything came out brown. Not what I expected, but it was a good learning experience and a fun project.
