Summer Solstice Mug

SUN BAKES•EARTH QUAKES•CERAMIC ENDURES

🌞💀🏜️⏳

Collaboration of sorts. The form was designed by Kel Lakia for Terraform Studio's solstice mug workshops, while the surface design and glazing is mine. If this is starting to sound familiar, it's because I've done this same form once before for the winter solstice, this is my take on the Australian summer solstice. Grey skies, red sands, bushfires and spinifex. It's fun seeing my progress between the two mugs, only six months apart but I feel like my skill level has improved a bit.

Handbuilt Keane stoneware 7 body with Chrysanthos black and white underglazes, NPS Jade, Chrysanthos Limestone, Potter's Market Grape Spangle, and Wheelhouse studio Ketchup, Teahouse, and Honeycomb glazes. Fired cone 10 oxidation. 🔴
