A cup

For sipping, for wine, for libations, for water, for juice, for the bathroom, for the kitchen, for the table.

Small, but mighty.

something we are working on

Here is a line of teacups that we are working on.
 It has taken months of testing, firings, and planning to get to this point.
 We are happy with the results and next step is to push them into production.
I'll let you know how that is going.
BTW- I have added a step to comments because of our friend Spam.
I'll be checking and confirm your comments as I can.
Thanks!

I can not tell you why this picture turned sideways on me, seems that I can not do anything about it so, here it is, as is.

Yesterday, I had the human pug mill help me wedge and block the holly heck out of the reclaimed clay.
Once it was blocked I covered it and left it to rest a bit while I went about the day working on throwing.
When I had some time I took the blocks and flattened them by gently tossing them down.
When I had the thickness that I wanted I ran them through the slab roller.
I saw little to no air.
I placed them between sheets of plaster boards and have left them to set up before I cut out tiles.
They should be ready later today or tomorrow.

Making the pancake.

Juice/wine/whiskey/anything you want to put in it cups drying under a fan.

These are a customer favorite, like potato chips, you can not just have one.
Once you have one, you need more.

I am in love with doing close up of these red flowers.
I love the flower inside the flower.
I love how the green of the leaves behind the flowers looks to be part of the flower.

It really is the little things that show up in your life.
Bring on the Unicorns, I think I am ready. 

Nature just does it thing for us while we work so hard to make something look this easy.

"Three Cups of Tea"; Seagrove Potters for Peace.

As promised here are pictures of the cups which will be for sale starting Saturday the 15th of August.
Items will be available exclusively at the shops until August 24, when any remaining vessels can be ordered by email or telephone.





These are juice, wine, tea cups by Mark
we plan to sell them in sets of 2.








These tumbler size cups are by me, Meredith, and will also be sold in sets of two.
All cups are signed on the bottom with Seagrove Potters for Peace.
Mark used SPFP since his cups were smaller.
A peace sign is drawn on each and is stamped with our logo stamp.
I added MH to mine.


The proceeds from the sales will be donated to
CAI.

Mortenson, through his Central Asia Institute (CAI), has built hundreds of schools in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, where illiterate and impoverished children are prey to recruitment by terrorist organizations.
Mortenson, who many believe will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, will be the NC State Convocation speaker on August 17.
