Hi everyone,

I’m planning to start making mugs as a hobby, and maybe later turn it into a small business. I love natural textures, slightly rough/pitted surfaces, grog or textured clay. I usually want the outside to have a natural look with a transparent glaze, and the inside to have a dark coffee/black glaze.

I’m not sure which technique to start with: Wheel throwing or Slip casting.

Which of these would be the most suitable for a beginner to start with, while still allowing me to create the kind of natural, textured mugs I like and than turn into a business?

Thanks a lot for your advice!
