The agenda for Monday: work on a batch of nine mugs. I threw these on the wheel last week:20120213-190245.jpg

Each mug was turned upside down then re-centered on the wheel for trimming. Once trimmed I sign and number each mug:20120213-190612.jpg

Nine mugs trimmed and ready for handles:

Every handle is pulled from a handful of clay:

The handles are test fit to the mug before they’re attached:

One handle done, eight more to go:

Three of the mugs are part of the Dots! line so they’re done, for now. These six are Dragonfly Mugs:20120213-221325.jpg

The spot for the dragonfly is scored:

There were just two dragonflies prepared ahead of time so I conjured up four more:20120213-222726.jpg
