Pottery Tips and Instruction 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Shaping Mugs - How to Fix Them!
Ann goes in depth to explaining the essence of mug design and points out 5 (well maybe 12 or 13) mistakes commonly made when shaping mugs. Ann also provides ideas on how to fix these design flaws. A great pottery video to just relax and watch or one to watch to pick up some great tips on making good looking, well shaped mugs!
If you would like to learn Ann's underglaze painting, glazing, and decorating process then check out Ann's Video Workshop Series. These workshops are very detailed (typically 1.5 - 2 hours in length) where Ann provides step by step instruction and are designed to help potters take their work to new levels of craftsmanship and artistry. https://vimeo.com/showcase/6725318
