Each mug is made by throwing the body on the wheel and then adding the handle trunk and ears (handbuilt from one piece of clay.)

 

Steps:

• Wedge appropriate amount of clay

• Throw mug body on wheel

• Allow clay to firm, and trim bottom (2-7 days later)

• Let dry slowly to avoid cracks

• Bisque fire

• Sand and wax bottom

• Glaze

• Fire again

• Epoxy semi-precious stones to elephant

• Voila!

 

From start to finish it’s a long process and this elephant made it all the way through the process!

Elephants represent awareness, patience, strength, compassion, connection to ancient wisdom, removal of obstacles and barriers, confidence, attracting opportunities, gentleness, communication, dreamtime & dreamwork, intelligence, commitment, and protection of the land.

• Microwave-safe
• Having made pottery for years, I know that pottery can break or chip over time. While it will survive the dishwasher, it will last longer if you handwash it.
