6/9/2020 34 Comments Exploring a new Mug StyleAs I have said many times before, I am no longer making mugs but our life as a potters has come to a screeching halt since all of our art fairs have been cancelled through July. I am spending more time in the studio making smaller items and testing glazes however, I am throwing almost everything away that comes out of the kiln. Honestly, production has been very slow and as luck would have it our glazes have been misbehaving - not really sure what the actual culprit is yet. We are still working on the solution. One of my friends (Mo Anderson) has been requesting a mug similar to what I used to make so many years ago and another crystalline artist friend (Holly McKeen) challenged me to explore the making of mugs using similar forms found in our larger pieces - interestingly enough, her suggestion takes me right back to the mug forms I was making so long ago. So here they are - exploring a new and yet familiar form. Let me know what you think.

This morning, I shattered my favorite mug, one I bought from you, Glenn, at a Custer Street Fair twenty years ago. I'm totally gutted--this mug had the perfect colors for coffee, it was the perfect volume (12 oz), and fit into my hand like a glove. Even after I'd emptied its contents, I enjoyed just holding the mug in my hand like a worry stone.

Yes!!! I hear you! My husband and I bought 2 mugs about 10 years ago at an Arts festival in Jacksonville, FL. His handle broke about 5 years ago and mine broke yesterday( only ourselves to blame)I feel exactly the same way, I loved EVERYTHING about it!!

Honestly, I couldn't bring myself to throw away all of the pieces--the two biggest ones sit on my work desk, just as they did when they were united.

If you have ever used bone china, you are eating off of animal bones. To be legally classified as bone china, the clay mixture must contain at least 30% bone ash (calcined cow bones). This ingredient is what gives the ceramic its translucent quality and milky white color. 2/2/2026 11:40:33 pm

Really? I've heard horrible things about their cone 6 oxidation methods. My aunt Trudy said that her mug was even cracked--totally unusable. I'd stick with the Pottery Boys. 2/10/2026 11:42:59 pm
