Here's the history and legacy of building a tiki mug all the way out to a good pour and some greenware. Please note that the handle looks like a deformed growth...

I carved this from wax it actually has design's all around it but I only took a couple of pix. one is of the front the other's are of the handle.

The molds empty and ready to be poured.

Molds filled with slip.

The big mold draining (the handle doesn't get poured out--it stays solid).)

Before the collar is removed.

After the collar is removed.

Molds open and drying.



Finally! A good pour! This mug looks upset, maybe he knows I killed his two older brothers.
