Artist's Notes:

I now live in BC, Canada, but I’ll always be a Saskatchewan farm kid! Thank you for taking a look at my experiments. It took 2 years to figure out how turn this Saskatchewan mud into a mug, and I’m so happy to share the results with you. When working with this Saskatchewan soil, I like to leave a lot of the raw clay exposed, so we can see and feel the character of the clay itself. The colour varies from a shiny brown with white specks, to a matte reddish brown, depending on where the piece was in the kiln. The variance in the pieces is what makes this wild clay so dynamic and interesting to me.

I glaze the handles so they are comfortable to hold, and the insides so they are easy to clean. The bottoms have been sanded smooth so they don't scratch your furniture. 

All my mugs start as hand-rolled slabs of soft clay and I shape them with the use of simple tools and sponges. I like to leave the joining seam visible, signaling that the pieces were not formed on the pottery wheel and have a unique relationship with my hands. My pottery is more lightweight than you might expect if you are used to using wheel-thrown pottery.

Food, microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe, but handmade pottery loves to be pampered with hand washing and gentle use :) The bottom of each piece has been smoothed with diamond sanding pads to prevent scratching your furniture.

Shipped items always include an extra little gift, and are packed attractively and safely with re-used materials (bubble wrap, foam sheets, and brown wrapping paper) to help reduce waste.
