- How to Make It: Throw a balanced, curved mug body using standard porcelain clay for maximum brightness. Trim and handle as usual. After bisque firing, apply a base coat of pale sky blue glaze. While the base coat is still slightly damp, use a soft fan brush to dab cobalt blue near the rim and soft lavender near the base, allowing the colors to bleed and overlap organically during the high-fire melt.
- Tips: Practice your layering on test tiles first, as overlapping fluid glazes can run down the kiln shelf if applied too thickly.
- Variations: Use sunset tones like coral, peach, and warm yellow for a vibrant, sunrise-inspired ombre effect.
