Research So Far

My research so far has been pretty interesting. I think it's kind of hard to find exactly what you're looking for thogh, especially when it seems like your topic is a little bit different than what people are interested in writing articles and theses on. My topic is mug making and I bought it would be very least to find articles about mugs and drinking vessels from people of old, but it's actually a lot harder than. I though it would be. I can actually barely find information on mug making specifically. There's a bit more information on drinking vessels, but less on cups and even less on mugs themselves. When  I went to the library however, they encouraged me to research pottery, and they said it would return some results. A person from the reference desk showed me and even emailed me some articles that looked pretty relevant to my research. I think in starting to see that there's more to my topic than just specifically my topic. A lot of things are relevant to it for instance like drinking vessels in general, as well as things that mugs are used for like drinks. I've even thought of finding a little bit of history about tea, coffee and hot chocolate maybe, because I will probably use my mug/s for that predominantly. Overall, my research has been interesting and informative and I'm actually kind of excited to error my I make paper. The question is still for me though, how exactly I want to buil and/ or decorate my mug (glass, clay, etc.)
