Here is a little roundup of things using the dark brown clay that has interested me lately, and I think I'm fairly pleased with the partial glazing. The idea of applying the added-on forms to the outsides of mugs was a bit of an afterthought, but turned out to be a lot of fun. I haven't put any of them to the usage test yet, but my thinking is that they might be nice for people who are a little compulsive about holding & feeling their mugs while they drink from them ( you know who you are ). The raw clay makes for a nice tactile experience.
