you really don't "find" unglazed mugs in the wild and businesses (unless it is a ceramics shop where you can take a class and glaze your own stuff) don't sell them cause, believe it or not, there really are stupid people out there that don't know it isn't safe to drink out of unglazed mugs, thus businesses can avoid the lawsuit by not selling them to the public......

..however, why not give those students a crash course in making a plaster mold as well by taking a generic mug (or one you don't mind parting with) , mold it and cast the mugs yourself.....you can then have them fired and the kids will now have mugs to glaze, the added bonus being that now they know how to make a mold too!!!
