Slab Mug
Create a mug using the soft slab technique we talked about in class. Your mug must be a typical coffee mug size made from a soft slab. Your mug must include a handle, and must incorporate some decorative elements. Get creative with this part. Think about your favorite mug and why it is your favorite. Look at various mugs in your house and look at their shapes, handles, rims, weight, size. Find your favorite mug and think about what makes it your favorite. Create any of the mug types you see below.
