Salt Marsh Studio Art Mugs are all hand crafted and hand-painted with unique designs. When you purchase an art mug, you are getting a work of art, not an ordinary run of the mill white mug. In addition, each one has something beautiful and inspiring. I choose designs or motifs that inspire or evoke positive sentiments.

Can you imagine the number of hours or the amount of work that goes in creating a single mug?

Below all the steps involved in creating a single mug are listed.

1. Roll out the clay
2. Wait till the clay is leather hard to mold the shape
3. Make the mug. put the handle.
4. Fine tune all shape, the rough edges, and ensure all the joints are secure.
5. Carve and paint the motifs
6. Let it dry for 3-4 days
7. Sand the rough edges.
8. Bisque fire the mug
9. Wash the mug to get rid of the fine dust.
10. Put different colours of glazes - 3 coats of each glaze.
11. Glaze firing

Before and after bisque firing the kiln plaques have to be prepared by sanding and applying a fresh coat of kiln wash.

Now that you know the number of steps involved, you can guess each one takes several hours to make.
