Thank you John Dodson of Muddabber's Pottery for allowing me to help you with this batch of mugs for Island Ford Adventures. I can't wait to see them come out of the kiln later this week.
John made the forms and attached the handles..... Because...well...that would have taken me about 6 months. Lol

"Survival" skills have captured the imagination of many armchair adventurers, but do you know the actual skills needed not just to survive but to THRIVE in the outdoors? In this half day hands-on workshop we will focus on what you REALLY need to know.
