Each of my mugs starts out with a clay slab that I have imprinted with one of my custom textures. No two are exactly the same. They are handmade in my home studio in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.
This one was fired at Rat City Studios in the Soda Kiln.
The texture comes from an embossing plate that I made from meadow rue flowers in my neighbor Joanie’s yard.
Mug measures 4.5 inches tall and 3 inches across and holds 16 ounces of your favorite beverage.
After the mug is constructed, I let it sit until it is bone dry. I then apply an underglaze wash over the entire piece. When that is dry, I gently remove the underglaze to leave it only in the recessed areas to emphasize the texture. The piece then goes through its first firing (bisque). The inside has a food safe sapphire blue glaze and the outside has the kiss of the soda.
It is dishwasher and microwave safe.
