The Stoneware Pointillistic Mug is dot-tally amazing! The raised pointillist texture was made to highlight the magic of stoneware glazes—think layered colors, unexpected pooling, and rich breaks over every bump. Whether you go earthy or bold, this mug transforms with every brushstroke. Once fired, it becomes a durable stoneware piece that’s as functional as it is artistic. Create one or paint a whole set to bring a touch of handcrafted charm to any table!
NOTE STONEWARE FIRING: You must fire stoneware to a Cone 5 or 6 program at medium speed. When loading your kiln place the bisque directly on a kiln shelf that has been coated with high-fire kiln wash. Face handles of mugs toward the center of the kiln. Bisque should not extend past shelves as it could cause warping. Stoneware bisque needs to be fully supported during the firing process. Do not apply glaze to the bottom of stoneware bisque, these need to be dry-footed. Do not stilt, as the stilt may embed into the stoneware as it moves and softens during the firing process. It is always recommended to use witness/shelf cones during the firing to ensure your kiln is obtaining the proper heat work.
NOTE STONEWARE USE: The benefit of using stoneware bisque is its durability and functionality; it is dinnerware, microwave, dishwasher, and oven friendly. For oven use we recommend that the ware be placed in a cold oven, warming as the oven pre-heats. Then stoneware can be removed from a hot oven, allowing it to cool to room temperature. Avoid drastic fluctuations in temperature (freezer to oven, or oven to freezer) to prevent thermal shock within the and glaze.
