I tried something new with a mold, Master Squid and Master Bowana said it was legit, it might help someone on their next mold. Instead of adding an extra mold piece to make the concave "foot" at the bottom of the mug I tried something new (or at least new to me). I just made a 2 piece mold with a flat bottom. After the piece was pulled from the mold and still soft, I gently pushed the clay up to make the foot. Seems to have worked well.
