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 a carving I made in linoleum. I started making the booty mugs when my partner was going through colorectal cancer a few years ago. They are a celebration of booties and a reminder to get yours checked. : )
Mug measures 3 inches tall and 3.5 inches across and holds 12 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 light gray glaze and the outside has the kiss of the soda over the strong underglaze wash.
It is dishwasher and microwave safe.
