Day 67

Here is #Mug#67 - The Holidays

I have taken this year mostly as an exploratory time for my journey; I believe jumping into this full-on can hurt not only my business venture but also leave patrons disappointed.

The journey of my project of making 100Mugs100Ways has been a joyful ride this far. The making of different mugs is an exciting exploration for me and an important one.

This journey may not be as exciting to others because my current posts don’t display much life, which is completely ok with me, and I imagine that this will also form a trusting bond with those who follow me and appreciate the tour I have taken.

Since I don’t have my electric kiln set up, it is an ongoing struggle because I depend on others to fire my work for me, which is also very costly. I was very fortunate to fire with a studio mate, who did a gas firing on Wednesday. It was as exciting as it was nerve-racking, he has done a few gas firings and is good at it, but things can always go wrong. I only added a few items as a test. All went well, and we are planning a reduction firing soon.

With all of the above taken into consideration, some followers have asked if I am offering any of my work for sale. I will have a few items to offer for sale, which will happen around the middle of December if all goes well with firing and scheduling.

Sign up for my newsletter “The Element,” follow my stories, posts, reels, and IGTV to stay informed, so you don’t miss out on my tiny Holiday offerings.

In closing, I like to wish you all a safe and healthy holiday and zoom or virtually hook up with loved ones and mostly take care of yourself and others.
