Conglomerate Cup

My Conglomerate tableware series is a collection of wheel thrown pieces that work together to complement each other. The inspiration for this collection is as it says in its name - an eclectic mix. The design comes from cross sections of the rock itself. The earthy tones of the clay contrast with the detailed patterns and muted blues, and the roughness of the clay contrast with the smooth shiny glaze. The patterns on the design are inspired by Easter in Slovenia and their decorated eggs.

These items are handmade at every stage in the making process and so each is unique. From creating the form, to hand making each batch of glaze, to hand carving and hand painting the designs, many variances are found at each stage of the process. Each piece is mindfully created in my studio over a number of weeks, with each finished piece having its own subtle differences. That is the beauty of handmade. These photos are a representation of the piece from this collection you will receive.
