She's great at hand building. When your mug is dry you can round the edges with sandpaper and it will look professional all of a sudden. WEAR A MASK when near any dry clay. Remember it's really dirt and full of bacteria. It also will just plan ruin your lungs. If I have a cut on my hand I don't work the clay until it heals or I wear a glove. Your mugs going to be great. Wendy Thanks so much Wendy! I'll go check out Umeone's thread, I need all the help I can find. I did a Google search and didn't find much in the way of hand building. And I'll get a mask to use for sanding, thanks for telling me that. I appreciate your encouragement so much!
