Twisted Clay Mug #111

Size: 3"H x 3.75" W
Volume: ~16oz

Body: White and brown stoneware twisted together during throwing to create a unique clay fusion.

Design: I love this technique because it emphasizes the uniqueness of clay as a medium. There are whorls and swirls, showing that this now-solid mug was once wet, malleable clay.

NOTE: Please note that the joining of a brown handle to brown/white clay causes some smudging around the joint. This is purely aesthetic and does not cause any issues with the use/durability of the piece.

Creation: Each piece is wheel-thrown from durable stoneware clay and hand-shaped into its unique form. They are then painted, carved, and altered one at a time by me. Eventually, the piece is fired over 2300°F to fully solidify the clay. I hand brush on all of my glazes and take a lot of care to ensure quality, durability, and a unique aesthetic throughout the process.

Care: These pieces are microwave, dishwasher, and food safe.
