I’ve shared a lot about my project @theterraformedmug lately, but today is back to good ol Donovan Pottery pots.

It’s nice to spend the morning making good pots, that will serve some lovely family for years to come. These porcelain mixing bowls are heading to @gvillesatmarket come see me there to get one for your table this fall!

Ok the big reveal: Moonscape Mugs! I am a sucker

Ok the big reveal: Moonscape Mugs!

I am a sucker for texture and contrast, and these mugs deliver in spades. The bodies are rough crater glazes, while the handles and interiors are silky satin. The bottoms too are polished with diamond pads to a glassy finish so there are plenty of areas to rest your hands and find comfort.

These are apart of my @theterraformedmug collection and will be available this week on Www.theterraformedmug.com if you want more updates on my space pots, follow that account!

These mugs are different than anything else I’ve made in texture, but also in function. I would recommend only hand washing these cups. And an obvious disclaimer: they are rough.

Let me ask you a question, what do you see here?

Let me ask you a question, what do you see here?

This is something I am incredibly excited to reveal. These objects came out of the kiln just now, and I can’t stop staring at them. However, I’m going to do it justice, and snap some good photos for the unveil. Until then, I’m going to leave you with this texture, and promise that the full image is going to blow your mind!

Welp.

Ordering decals 1/4” too long would be easier to swallow if I hadnt made 50 mugs 1/4” too short.

Oh well, We’ll find a use for them, and back to the printers!

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on this new venture, @theterraformedmug.
I shared a bit about it in my stories, but it’s such a big change for me that I wanted to talk a bit more about it here.

As you probably know I really enjoy making space pots! It fuels my love for clay and space and is a very fulfilling marriage of my fascination of earth and the heavens. I started by making fun astronaut pots, and It has developed to a point that I believe it needs its own attention, and dedicated space. So I’ve created a new entity entirely! I’ve created a website, an Instagram page, and just today launched my first preorder item, “The Blueprint Mug”. You might remember it from a previous post!
I felt this was a necessary step to help focus my energy and vision for this work.

I’ll continue to add to my series of space inspired pots there. If you enjoy that portion of my work then I would encourage you to follow @theterraformedmug. I have some really cool things in the works there, and if you want to be in the know about those, as well as early item access, discounts, free gifts and more I would be honored if you subscribed to my newsletter- just take a look at theterraformedmug.com.

If you’re interested in preordering the first blueprint mugs, you can use the discount code “Blueprint” to take 15% off! This code is only active for another week.

Thanks so much for your interest, your support, and encouragement! I’m really excited to pursue this further.

I was recently given the chance to talk with @mastercraftplus about my story, my craft, and some philosophy behind both.

I’ve never been much of a talker, especially about myself. However, the folks at Master Craft Plus were so engaging and skilled at putting me at my ease that it was a joy to talk about the why I do what I do. If you’re interested in reading more, the link to the interview transcript is in my bio!

Mead! Honey-wine! Nectar of the Norse gods! @wand

Mead! Honey-wine! Nectar of the Norse gods!

@wanderingbardmeadery is opening their new taproom in just two weeks here in Greenville! And I can testify that their space is remarkable to the last degree. From 100 year old heart pine Bartops, to 16 hidden bumblebees adorning the wrought metal staircase. It’s so exciting to see what the owners Adam and Brian have put together.

Did you know they also have a membership program? On top of supporting the best meadery in the upstate, being a member comes with several perks! One of which is having your own personal handmade mead cup reserved for you every time you come in. I won’t say they’re the best goblets to grace the hand of Thor but...we’ll let you decide.
