Method
Mug Creation
- 1
Prepare the Clay
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of ceramic clay with 0.5 cups of water. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
- 2
Shape the Mug
Take a portion of the clay dough and roll it into a ball. Using your hands or a pottery wheel, shape the ball into a cylindrical form to create the mug body. Ensure the walls are even and thick enough to withstand firing.
- 3
Add the Handle
Roll out another piece of clay into a long, thin strip to form the handle. Attach it securely to the side of the mug by scoring the attachment points with a knife and using a bit of water to help bond.
- 4
Dry the Mug
Allow the shaped mug to dry completely for 24 hours or until it is bone dry before firing.
- 5
Fire the Mug
Place the dried mug in a kiln and fire it according to clay manufacturer's instructions, typically at a temperature of 1830°F (1000°C) for bisque firing.
