Magical, cozy, and healing - this is what I seek in my cups, and what I desire to send out into the world in the form of these little clay creations. This sweet mug embodies all three of those intentions. The small 2-finger handle and curvy form give a sensation of comfort and security, and the spontaneous movement of ash and color across the slip-trailed decoration creates wonder and awe. I threw this piece on the wheel and sculpted the handle, then decorated the surface using slip. It was fired in an anagama kiln for over 130 hours - that means vigilant potters, around the clock, stoking the wood into the fire to obtain our desired results. This piece is completely one of a kind.
