I did a tall mermaid mug using a press mold for the upper half, a second slightly smaller and wider mug with a seahorse design, and a shorter third mug with a Tangaroa head. I used a different clay this time that my wife had bought for an abandoned project -- G-Mix 6 Stoneware -- which is a medium range stoneware that says it should be bisque fired at cone 04 and glaze fired at cone 6. Never used this before, but we'll see how it goes. [ Edited by: Trader Tom 2013-02-02 22:59 ]
