Coffee mug with wild animal print (no handle) - recycled glazes

$29.00 CAD
Quantity:

As part of our sustainable approach, we have successfully developed new recycled glazes, created from our own glazing waste and/or repurposed glazes. Since these glazes are made primarily from reclaimed materials, the colors and textures will always vary slightly from one firing to the next, and even from one piece to another... making each piece all the more unique!

This collection is meant to be a celebration of the beauty of Canada’s wildlife. The artist draw wild animals by hand on paper. Then she processed the images to make decals so they can be transferred onto ceramics while preserving all their details.

These ceramics are white porcelain, hand thrown by the artist herself. After a first fire, glaze is applied, and the pieces are fired again at 1200 degrees Celsius (2192 degrees Fahrenheit). After this second firing, the decals are transferred onto the ceramic pieces, and fired one last time at 800 degrees Celsius (1472 degrees Fahrenheit).

This collection combines two of the artist’s passions : drawing, and clay. It is also her way to express her love and respect for nature. Therefore, it is a reminder of the need for the humankind to protect its environment in order to preserve its wildlife. Each piece comes with a small card giving informations about the animal. The back of each tumbler also shows its track.
