Abstract Leaves Mug

Description

This hand-crafted red clay ceramic mug is adorned with an intricately painted, abstract white leaves motif. Each of my pieces is a unique work of art, hand-made and lovingly shaped and glazed, so there will be a few imperfections. Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or evening cocoa, this medium-size mug is perfect for those who don’t want a mug too large that lets their coffee get cold!

The creation process:
1. I personally threw the piece on a potter’s wheel.
2. After drying for 2-3 days, I trimmed excess clay off of the piece.
3. I applied the white underglaze design to the surface of the mug and attached the handle.
4. After the piece completely dried to the bone-dry stage, it was bisque fired in the kiln.
5. The piece was washed, then glazed with a clear glaze.
6. The piece was fired in the kiln for a second time at cone 5.
7. It makes its way (hopefully) to your cupboard! 🙂
