Onwards, so I did a short ceramics course, where I hand-built several mugs.

My first mug just getting used to working with the clay.

The second one a slab built clear glazed three faced bucket mug.

My attempt at my Cthulhu Tiki mug design.

While working on the previous mug I got an idea how to make a similar style Moai, so I knocked up a sketch from photographs and created this green glazed Cthulhu Moai Mug. The glazing was a bit sloppy and it took about a month before the glaze stopped cracking with audible pings.

We only had two weeks left to knock out some mugs to glaze on the last day so I created this thumb pot version of a Trader Vic's Coconut mug.

And in the same flurry of mug creation I made my Cargo Cult Tiki Bob.
