A handmade thrown dark blue/grey tea/coffee mug. Hand dipped with some bare clay left at the bottom as a nice contrast to the dark blue glaze.

Care: Dishwasher safe

Dimensions: 9.5cm H x 7.5cm (top) W

320ml

All of my pottery is handmade in my rural farm studio just outside of Exeter, Devon in the southwest of England. I use a white, high fire stoneware clay.

Firstly the body of the pot is thrown on the wheel using the white clay. After a couple of days (weather dependent), the clay will have dried to a “leather-hard” state and can be turned and handled.

Once the piece is “bone dry” (this is called “greenware”) it is fired to 1000 degrees Celsius. The piece is dipped in my own handmade glazes and fired to 1270 degrees Celsius in my electric kiln.
