Is it possible to make a large Tiki Mug that look like it was carved out of stone? Would you have to stipple your clay/wax sculpture, creating a stone-like rough surface, then find a flat dark grey glaze to mimic? Is there a stone-like plaster that I could fill a slip with that could be easily pored out? How much definition would I loose? Would it weight considerably more than your average mug?

So many questions.

I just have a few mug ideas that would look better as stone than wood.
