A collection of my thrown mugs featuring the Essa pattern. The colours from top to bottom are: On the left - Lavender and Blush, On the right - Pistachio, Flame Orange and Electric Blue. These pieces are thrown using a speckled stoneware clay, before being turned and attaching the handles. I draw the pattern on each one, then hand-paint underglaze before they go into their first kiln firing. They're then glazed in a transparent, food-safe glaze and fired again to 1250 degrees.
