As some of you may have read, I have recently completed a cone 6 firing and we have some lovely new mugs, a few of which you can see below:

As part of this firing, I test fired a few mythological mugs.
What’s a mythological mug? You can find out here and read more about the original idea here. During the test firing, I tried three glazes on these mugs.
This was the glaze that I was most happiest with for this project, on ‘The Real Housewives of Athens” mug:

I will likely use this glaze again
This glaze below didn’t do a bad job either at ensuring the incised design showed up. I will probably use it again.
And of course, the glaze I thought would work best was my least favourite:
I may try a reglaze on this mug during my next firing.
Being a potter and an artist is a journey of continual learning, and sometimes we learn the most from our mistakes.
I am also working on a design where I will use slip I am colouring on a white mug background and will also test some additional glazes until I find more colour variants that make me happy.
Of course there will be more puns of mythological proportions coming too!
You might get some Deja Brew 😉
They are all really cool. Beautiful work.
Thank you! so glad you like them 🙏 I hope you are keeping well

For color, I liked the first one, mostly red one, even though I think the last one was most successful. I like yellow too, but red would fit my “decor” better. Since my decor could be termed a large collection of found items, any one of them would work for me.
