Stop by ceramics teacher Eric Hoover’s classroom anytime from now to the end of the year or until they are sold out. Students and teachers can buy a handcrafted mug from visiting art resident Robert (Bob) Zabrosky and ceramics teacher Eric Hoover. The mugs are $10 each, and there are different glaze colors students and teachers can choose from. There are also different Altoona logos on the mugs to pick from. 

“We did the mugs last spring. I threw all the mugs in one day, and I put the handles on the next day. Hoover glazed them at the start of the year. I was able to make so many in one day because I’ve been doing this stuff for 40 years, and it’s like muscle memory now. When I have all my clay laid out I can throw a large cylinder in a minute,” Zabrosky said.

All mug proceeds go to the Art Honor Society.
