Mugshot Monday - "Blue-Black Ice Cream Mug" by Bigboxcar Ceramics with Chocolate Dairy Free Frozen Dessert by Frönen
This mug was a lovely accident.
I challenged myself by taking a wheel throwing class at Northern Clay Center after taking a year off from making pots. I wanted to make some mugs out of porcelain clay.
Porcelain is insane to work with because it's super smooshy. Some say it's like trying to make something out of cream cheese. They're not wrong!
This cup turned out short and wide so it's not ideal for coffee. But it's perfect for ice cream!
I'm enjoying some delicious Frönen Chocolate ice cream (non dairy, no cane sugar, only 4 ingredients).
My body doesn't like cane sugar or dairy so Frönen is pretty much the only option for me. Yum!
I'm going to keep practicing with porcelain and see if I can make a few respectable coffee mugs. So far, I'm pleased with my progress.
Maybe I'll even intentionally make more ice cream mugs. 😂
Cheers! 🍦 ☕️ 🤩
Shoutout to Chris Singewald who taught my wheel throwing class! He had some key tips that helped me out big time. Much appreciated. 🙏🏻
PS: Thanks to my neighbor Diane Gamm who inspired me to test this new glaze combination: Leach White over Satin Matte Black 🙌🏻
