SUNDAY MUG - All Colours
This beautifully shaped Sunday Mug is the perfect size and feel for your favourite beverage. Each piece is handcrafted by ceramicist Sharon Alpren.
Sharon fires her kiln to 1250 degrees, usually in a reduction atmosphere which creates a diverse range of tones in the clay and textures in the glaze. Each piece brings a great sense of materiality, texture and tactility into our domestic lives.
Sharon Alpren is a potter based near Melbourne, VIC. After working for many years in London as a fashion and homewares buyer, Sharon found herself in outback VIC and fell deeply in love with clay and its processes. She works with her hands - pinching, coiling and slabbing, shaping, throwing on the wheel - making a variety of pots for the home, both practical and sculptural.
"I want to make pieces that are used and loved, that people pick up and touch, feel their imperfections, sense the raw, earthy materials. Pots that are inspired by ageless processes, yet are very contemporary."
