Rolled out some brown clay. The two 1/4 dowels on each side ensure the slab is uniformly 1/4" thick.

Clay wrapped around an appropriate sized glass covered with paper so the clay doesn't stick. Edges sealed, top notched to round the clay.

This is upside down. The bottom paddled round, the stabilizing post added to the bottom, and the top trimmed so the overall height is 9 inches. The post at the bottom means the mug will always have to sit on the base but hopefully it will keep the mug secure on the base.

Now to let it dry and firm up a bit. It shouldn't take long, my AC is broken and it predicted to be 110° today. Fortunately the AC guy is coming this morning.
