There are more than 15,000 David Norton stoneware mugs out in the world. And almost every one was made while chatting with folks in my studio at the Torpedo Factory Arts Center in Alexandria, VA. I've been there almost every Saturday since 1978 sitting at the potter’s wheel and talking with the locals and the tourists.
People get very attached to their favorite mug. Morning coffee sipped from a familiar handmade Norton mug becomes a pleasing ritual. My mugs feel good in your hands and warm the soul.
