Thanks, Johnny! The 2 mugs you picked out of the bunch were both made by friends of mine who have been potters for 30 years or more. Sounds like you have a great project going! I just took a mold making class and learned quite a bit. I’ll send you my email address in case there is a question you have that I might be able to answer, but I’m pretty much a newbie myself. “Mold Making & Slip Casting” by Andrew Martin is a great reference book to have on hand if you don’t already have it. Good luck!

Sweet collection! My favs are the first and third in the top row. These mugs are as unique and elegant as the forms found in nature. Thanks for the visual influence. I am a newbie to the world of product design and pottery and am in the midst of starting a new studio on my own. I’m currently designing a line of mugs for a local cafe. The plan is to slip mold the final product, and I was hoping for advise on how to avoid a slippery slope as I plod along.

[...] my love of color and art, I realized that in some respects I’m quite boring after seeing this great collection of mugs that belongs to a friend of mine. I have 8 plain white ceramic mugs from [...]

I don’t know if I could pick from such a beautiful assortment of mugs every morning. The effect would be dizzying especially before the coffee that I would be pouring into it. What does it say about me that I covet all your mugs yet in my own cupboards are eight completely plain white mugs from Target? Perhaps in the wee hours of the morning when my young ones wake up, too much stimuli would be too much. I love the mugs all the same, especially the one made by your daughter.

Wow! What a beautiful collection of mugs! I want them all! My favorites are on the left and right end of the center row although I am also fond of the second from the left on the top row, and the one on the far right on the last row. And of course, the one made by your daughter is outstanding as well. The colors are wonderful!
