*BEAUTY MARK POTS* HAVE AESTHETIC FLAWS THAT DO NOT EFFECT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PIECE FOR ITS INTENDED USE, IE HOLDING LIQUIDS
This pot has a funky footing, I tried to add a foot ring after casting, due to human error while drying, they dried unevenly and cracked, I decided to keep them anyways because these were surface level cracks, all aesthetic, did not hurt the functionality of the pieces, please see photos
-water tested 100% functional but priced to reflect these beauty marks
HUGMUGS AKA TUMBLERS
CAPACITY approx. 16-18oz unless listed
Moon and windswept pine pots 22-24oz
These do not have handles - hands wrap around the piece giving it a hand hug
*Caution is advised if using for hot liquids
-heat transfer to outside depends on temp of liquids inside just like a regular mug, more milk or creamer cools the drink liquids quicker
-if you leave a gap at the top of the cup you can carry it there
-when it is cool enough to drink, it will be cool enough to hold
.
Everything is made by my hands, pieces are handled many times in their creation, sometimes there is evidence of this forever preserved within the piece.
.
My mugs are formed from flat slabs of clay, joining the clay together creates seams accentuating its unique personality, the rim may not be 100% circular.
.
Hugmugs are made using slipcasting techniques using liquid clay and plaster moulds, all of the plaster moulds and designs are made by me in studio.
.
Working with ceramics I have learned not to fall in love with something until it has made it through all of the stages.
.
-My glazes are all made by me in studio using glaze recipes of raw materials & a lot of testing
-Due to the differences in monitor settings, colours may appear different. The glazes really come alive in natural light
-Pots containing gemstone or metal accents, are NOT microwave and dishwasher safe
.
Stoneware pots are fairly durable but they can break. Use with caution and care. Glaze is a layer of glass essentially, if you drop it, it will probably break.
