I went in last thursday and threw two new mugs! I went in on Sunday in hopes of adding handles to both but only one of them was dry enough to add one to, so I did. Then today I went back in and the other mug had dried up more so I added a handle to that one too.
Next, I started painting some of my older mugs. One of my smaller ones that has a a handle was dipped into a light blue colored glaze. The next didn't have a handle and I chose to dip it into a glaze called "forest green". And the last one I glazed was used with my absolute favorite glaze available at the studio called "floating blue". This one is a wonderful mix of blue and green when it comes out of the kiln.
I plan on doing more research this coming weekend. I might take some of the mugs that I make down at the studio and take them to the classroom at school for glazing because of the much wider variety to choose from. Otherwise, it's been a pretty successful week and I spent around 5 hours working just on my hands on work.
Also, just a little sneak peak but look how nice this mug looks from the top (don't wanna show the actual thing).
