I am going to send out a fired clay model to someone to make the mold for me then cast and glaze the mugs myself. "The Clay Lover's Guide to Making Molds" by Peirce Clayton is a great book. It took all the mystery out of mold making. I got a used copy off amazon.com for around $8.00 including shipping. If you havn't read it already, here is the post about my first mug:
