test tile mug #3 ceramicmug looking at each mug andPotters use test tiles to test glaze recipes, clay bodies and kiln temperatures. Testing is a BIG part of ceramics, as we try to figure out how we want our pieces to come out in the end. It's a strange love affair of trial & error, meets hopes, dreams and unmet expectations. I approach my test tile mugs with the same devotion, looking at each mug and assessing it's individual shape and best desired block pattern. Love is true acceptance. Brown
