In order to make a clay mug, first you make a slab of clay for the bottom of the mug. Next you make small coils to wrap around to make the sides. When you add the next coil on top, you add slip to keep to coils stuck together. After you get all the coils on, you can smooth out the sides and shape it. Finally you add a handle.
I learned that making a mug is a lot harder than i thought. I've made a clay bowl before, but adding the handle was difficult. Its hard to keep it a good size to fit your hand in and small enough to make sure it stays on and doesn't fall off.
