Thank you for your beautiful video , what is the thickness the mug should be ? And how can i control pinching so that the mug not to be like a cone and be curved as you did?

[@yukiceramics]

Hi, good question! I think depends of your preference and style. To make the curved shape I used the wood tool inside the mug. At 1:57 in the video I started to use the tool. And also in the sequence of the video I used it outside making a curve movement.

[@mooncrown5001]

Such a beautiful mug and really helpful (and relaxing) to watch the process! One question: what's the fabric you are using to smooth out the rim of the cup? (I can never get the rim really smooth and I don't have access to chamois leather which I hear people use? Can you use other fabrics as well?)

[@yukiceramics]

Hi, I’m using chamois leather. I think It last forever. I’ve been using the same since I started. But if you haven’t access I suggest you to try the ones you have access. Start with a old t-shirt, I heard that cotton also works, but haven’t try it myself. And thank you for the nice comment! I really appreciated it. 😊

[@vaidak9829]

Wow! How much clay do you use for mug?

[@yukiceramics]

Hi Vaidak, I not sure exactly how much clay I used. But probably I started with 500-600g and didn’t use all. I will weigh the Clay for my next video. 😉

Superb!! This coffee mug is really beautiful✨. But are you selling it in the market or online? Thank you🙏.

[@yukiceramics]

Hi, I’m selling other pieces in my Etsy store. yukiceramicsstore.etsy.com Check it out . Thank you for your comment ❤️

[@claudiamariaperezarchila8832]

Hi! How much time did you leave between drying the mug and adding the handle? Did you use some kind of glue or just water? Thanks!

[@yukiceramics]

Hi Claudia, as soon as I finished the body of the mug, I added the handle. If you think the clay is too soft and is changing the shape, let it dry a little, then add the handle. I usually use two methods to attach it. One is with the same clay but like a slip; the other way is with vinegar. Both work well

How to dry this ?

[@yukiceramics]

Hi, I usually leave it on a shelf covered for two or three days, then I put it on the uncovered shelf.

[@NaveedAhmed-Ni]

What soil is this??

[@yukiceramics]

This is a stoneware dark clay with speckles. 😉

[@kristinegaming_]

can we use Natural Clay?

[@yukiceramics]

I think you can, but for firing you probably need to test to see what the temperature this natural clay will vitrify and also make sure that the temperature isn’t too hight that it will melt out.

Please help me I have a doubt I've been trying to make earthenware mugs , but couldn't do it In my first attempt, I made the cup body Then, when I tried to attach the handle, small cracks appeared Eventually, the crack grew long and deep and it broke So I made it back to clay In my second attempt, I made the cup, attached the handle There were no problems But, when I tried to polish it by rubbing my scrapper against its dry wall,small cracks appered As happened to me before,it also grew into a long and deep one (I made that one too into clay) In my third attempt, everything was fine No cracks while making, no cracks while attaching handle. Then , it cracked when I tried to polish But it was a minute crack Just like a line drawn on it Thin and narrow,looks like it has no depth Anyway, I tried to cover the crack by adding slip,then polishing But, when the slip dries , the cracks reveals again So,I thought it was because slip and the wall of the mug where in different stages of dryness So, I dipped the mug in water for a second or two and waited Then , what I saw was really sad It had broken, from rim to base Can you, or someone who sees this comment tell me any solutions or suggestions? I have wasted like a month now Is it because of the temperature, cuz here it's like 35°C+ Does it affect? Or should I wait some more time to polish the pot, as maybe the exterior of the mug was dry while the inner layers were still wet? Please help me And , how can I make my pot cylindrical, because when I coil build it, it goes out and out, I tried your technique to turn it inside, but it turns jar-like , with a constructed nech and wide body I can't make it cylindrical, Please help me

[@yukiceramics]

Hi Sharon,About the cracks in the clay. Are you letting your mug dry in the open air? Sun? Wind? Is the thickness uniform? In this case, since you want to polish the mug, I would try the following: wedge the clay well to make it very homogeneous. After making the mug, let it dry slowly, covered with a plastic bag. I wouldn't let it dry too much, just enough so that when you handle it, the mug doesn't deform. Cracks can happen for various reasons. Remember that when you handle (polish) the mug, you increase the risk of breaking or damaging the piece. In any case, if you are going to glaze your mug later, there is no need to polish the entire piece.

[@yukiceramics]

About trying to fix the crack. I know there are ways to try to fix it, but if I see a crack at this stage of the process, I usually recycle the clay. Some small cracks can get much worse after completely drying or after firing. Regarding making a cylinder with coils, pay attention when adding the coil. The lengths of the coils theoretically need to be the same. If they are longer, you will open up the pot, and if they are shorter, you will close the pot. When handling, the tendency is to apply more force to the inner part of the pot, causing it to open up. For a cylinder, it might be better to use the slab technique. However, if you want to become more familiar with the clay, the coil technique is great! It will also give you more options to create different pieces in the future.

[@yukiceramics]

I hope I was able to help with something. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.

[@yukiceramics]

Another thing I just thought of is that when you press (polish) the clay, you always need to support the clay from underneath where you are pressing.
