Pottery Coffee Mugs
Saturday, July 24th, 2010
What all do I need to start a pottery hobby?
I want to take up making unique coffee mugs and dinner sets by way of either ceramic mold or thrown on a wheel. And one day hope to turn it into a business. How much would I need to purchase and what items could be used by paying someone (atleast to begin with) (say for instance the kiln) Do you recommend any books on this topic?
For molding you need molds, for throwing you need a wheel.
The clays used for each method are of a different composition.
Since they must be glazed to be liquid proof, you would also need a kiln for baking. (A household oven can be used in a some cases, with special materials designed for this.)
Suggest you visit your local library and ask the librarian about books on the subject BEFORE you start spending money.
