Hello! Well it was the last 1.5 hours of school today- just enough time for me to unload the kiln with the last of what's heading down to
San Fransisco for Renegade! I'm really excited to show you my new cups and mugs- a slip-cast design that I've been working on over the last couple of months. I designed this based on my wheel-thrown cups and shorter mugs, however wanted the mold to be as versatile as possible: it's a one part mold that can be a cup, or if I add a handle, can be a short mug that works a little better with the size of my teapots. I have been working on a couple of collaborations with it already, so haven't had the time to play with my existing glaze designs or get too creative with any new ones, however, I guarantee there will be more to come. Holding about 12 oz of liquid, the handle is a good 2 finger hold, and as cups, they stack pretty good.
I will have a very limited selection of these available at Renegade- they will be up on my shop soon!
Oh, and I saw this on
Pinterest the other day. Had to chuckle... ceramic paint or pens, heh? Let me know how that goes for you...
**The process of creating stripes (or any glaze design of mine) on my handmade mugs, teapots and vases are tediously created by use of hand-cut 'stencils' on my bisqued ware allowing the coloured glaze to sit right next to and only slightly overlap the white glaze. Each stripe is glazed with food-safe, microwave and dishwasher safe glazes that won't ever fade or chip off. They are made with the utmost care on my part with many steps taken to get the stripes and designs looking seamless.
