GENERAL POTTERY

Sandy Speckles

Time for some really lovely sandy cups to remind us of the summertime days that are just around the corner! These beauties have been made for Share a Cuppa by

Sue Newitt @suenewitt

Tatyanna Meharry @thebusyfinch

Grace Uivel @ataceramics

The speckles on the texture of the cups are from different beaches around the South Island of Aotearoa and all move slightly differently in the clay depending on their geological location. A fantastic way to remember a sea time memory!

They each have a beautiful interpretation of greens on them Gael and Sarah have made delicious drippy glaze combinations while Nicole has used flora from her garden to create native prints. They are each a very descent cuppa sized!

Red Tones

Duncan Shearer @rahu_road_pottery

Galit Maxwell @galitmaxwell

​

Fiona Madill @bluffit.ceramics

​

They all have gorgeous toasty clays and have been born of extremes...from the range of firing, as in a cooler kiln for the red earthenware to a very hot kiln for the grey blushed stoneware....they also come from tight down at the bottom off the South Island to the top of the North Island. Each cup holds a medium sized cuppa and nestles snuggly in the hand.

They hold a very respectable cuppa and are made from beautiful toasty clay featuring a range of glazes like swirly opalescent chun, soft satin celadon and texturally tingley wild clay slip.

Elise Johnston @threecupsoftea.nz

Gwen Parsons @generalpotterynz

​

Emma Soppit @esoppitpots

​

They show how different clays can be, and the subtlety between them. Elise has used a white casting slip with a beautiful native illustration, Gwen has used porcelain and texture so that it is translucent when held up to the light and Emna has a white stoneware. So lovely!

Jo Howard @johowardceramics

They feature lots of lovely colour and graphic lines. Emma has used bright coloured clay for her handles contrasted by a paper bag coloured buff clay, Janna has bright pop coloured glazes with amazingly handpainted black line details and Jo has some lovely stamped text with "I'm so glad you're in my bubble!" printed on them. So clever these guys!
