First fired mugs... The Scallywag Skull and Shock the Monkey! - Tiki Gallery

Taught myself slipcasting this year and put together an Etsy account, facebook fan page and got one of those awesome Square credit card readers for my iPhone. Anyway, I'm located in Worcester, MA where there is about as much Exotica as there are Republicans. That said, I'm looking to change that and I wanted to share what I've made so far. PLEASE give me some feedback, thoughts, ideas, etc. as I try to make this a small business in the coming months.

I've been mainly a 2D artist, so this is quite a departure for me but something that I've been obsessed over through the years. My day job is a middle school art teacher but I'm trying to make as many mugs as I can. Having a blast so far!
