This is my favorite mug. I use it every day. Although the handle looks rough, it is actually ergonomically fitted to my hand.

Learn more about mugs, how to make them, add handles and more.

Firing Pottery Glazes in a Ceramic Kiln
Painting Clay Pots With Glaze, Ceramic Teapot

Above left is a kiln almost ready to begin firing pottery that has been glazed. It's my old Cress top loading ceramic kiln. It fires using a kiln sitter (part of the blue box on the front).

Above right is a ceramic teapot with a bamboo handle. As an alternative to hand painting clay pots with pottery glaze, they can be dipped or poured, as with this teapot.


If you're looking for a great pottery photo book be sure to check out the book "500 Raku".

It's loaded with incredible photos of raku pottery.

I really love the 500 series books.

There are at least 7 of them including 500 Bowls, 500 Vases, and 500 Cups (these are my 4 favorites).

Each one contains 500 quality photos of beautiful, unique pottery to inspire any potter.

Browsing photos of work by other pottery artists always gives me inspiration to try new and different techniques in my own work.
