Fire Licked Wild Clay Cup Set
These hand sculpted cups are made with wild foraged clay and fired with a traditional pit firing method.
Pit firing is an ancient and magical approach to ceramics; putting pottery on the earth and building a fire around it. The pottery comes out similar to a bisque firing and is unglazed. Unglazed pottery offers an amazing opportunity to commune with the clay as a vessel. Instructions for caring for these cups will be included with order.
My vessels have a light beeswax finish to make them water tight. The fire reacts to the slip and creates the color variation on the vessel, as well as black fire clouds.
