Three Handbuilt Ceramic Mugs

Three Handbuilt Ceramic Mugs

I handbuild my ceramic pieces with a mid-fire range, white clay. It shows off the colors and textures so well.

I texture the clay with found objects or ceramic rollers that I carved myself. I form the clay into cylinders for teapots, pitchers, or mugs, let them dry and fire them to bisque.

After they are bisque, I paint on a glaze or underglaze. I often wipe off the color to reveal the texture in the clay.

I usually use clear glaze on the outside but always on the insides to make the pieces functional.

They are fired again to a higher temperature which makes them non-porous and functional to hold water and be dishwasher and microwave safe.

No two pieces are alike. I love to experiment!
