Everybody on my Christmas list last year got a mug. They are my favorite thing to make, and I can make a bunch of them in a day, especially if the weather is dry. They dry quickly and I can get the handles attached the same afternoon. In a couple more dry days, I can bisque fire them, then glaze and glaze fire them. In the course of a week it goes from raw clay to a coffee mug that might be used daily.
At least I hope they get used daily.
