Sacramento Crawl mugs for the first weekend in October 2018. More steps. There have been many days of work before getting to this place. I sculpted the mug and we molded it. When the mold dried we began to pour one mug a day for 85 days. When the mug was removed from the mold it was cleaned and fine tuned. Each time enough for a kiln load completely dried I would sand them. Then I would bisque fire them. Out of the kiln they were scrubbed inside and out. I kept them under plastic to keep any dust from getting on the surface. During this time I decided to get the signature cards done. This year it was the ad in the old phone book that inspired this mug. It took a few hours to get them all printed. Once I had them done I numbered them and signed each one. I also ordered the boxes I would need for each mug. Next it's time to glaze the mugs. Wendy |
