Tell me what makes a good mug, and I’ll try to make one for you

I'm a big fan of pottery and clay in general but will accept all materials. Something with a very slight taper, not too large (approximately 250-300 millilitre capacity), earthy blues, greens, or browns, not fine like china but also not too thick. I am open to more questions and would love to buy a mug from you.

I’ll keep these preferences in mind as I create in the coming months… and maybe tag you in some pics when I have something

These are beautiful and hilarious. My favorite in practice is to compliment people — YES, all the time! Learn to be comfortable giving in spaces where there is no need or competition, but giving just to give.

Thank you for your lovely post. The only thing I would add to be a real man is to follow Jesus. Explore the belief system even if you don’t believe. Look for God. Jesus is the greatest man who ever walked this earth. If you follow his teaching and stand for Him now that will make any man - ‘a real man’.
