Mug Making? - General Tiki

For those of you who dabble in ceramics now, what do you need to get started? I am guessing that I would need a wheel to create a cylinder (i.e. mug). What is the next step? Do you try and mold the cylinder or do you carve the entire thing out of a block of clay? Are there public facilities where you can get your items fired or do you need to purchase a kiln? Is there a craft supply chain store where you can purchase wet clay etc?
