- How to Make It: Roll out even coils of dark chocolate-brown earthenware clay. Stack and blend the coils in a spiral motion over a small pinched base, leaving the exterior coil textures slightly visible for a tactile feel. Smooth the interior walls with a damp sponge for a clean drinking surface. Attach a thick, primitive handle molded by hand. Bisque fire and finish with a semi-matte cream glaze that breaks translucent over the textured ridges.
- Tips: Keep your coils consistently thick to ensure the mug dries evenly and maintains structural integrity.
- Variations: Press small botanical prints or lace patterns into individual coils before assembling for added visual depth.
