to make a ceramic mug:
1) wedge (kneed to get air bubbles out) a lump of clay the size of your fist or a little bigger if you have small hands.
2) throw it down into the center of a pottery wheel.
3) wet the clay and press down with your hands on the clay while the wheel spins fairly quickly (the gaol is to center the clay, so that it spins evenly around on the wheel.) keep your elbows grounded on your knees or your hips as you sit.
4) once it is centered, make a hole in the center with your finger, deepen it
5) pull out to widen the hole. smooth the walls of your mug to be even, create the shape you want.
6) compress the rim of the mug by squeezing the top and pushing down on the top.
7) stop the wheel. cut the mug off of the wheel with a piece of wire. pick it up with pot lifts.
8) make a handle and attach by scoring the area and using slip (water and clay combo).
9) days later when the clay is leather hard, turn it over, put it one the wheel, and trim the bottom, so that it has a little sticking out rim.
10) let it dry more then bisk fire it.
once done, dip it in a bucket of glaze, taking care to make sure that no glaze ends up on the bottom of your mug.
11) fire it a second time, the glaze will melt and become glass-like. then you're DONE. :)
