Grain Mug | Fern Taylor

A handbuilt mug with soft lines that run through the clay like the grain of a piece of wood.

Fern Taylor handbuilds each piece in her South London studio. Rather than painting a pattern on, she builds it from coloured clays using the Japanese technique of nerikomi, so no two pieces come out quite the same.

In nerikomi, coloured clays are layered, sliced and pieced together by hand, then shaped into each piece, so the pattern is part of the clay itself rather than painted on. It means the design runs all the way through, inside and out, and takes real patience and skill to get right.

• Handbuilt nerikomi ceramic mug
• Made by hand in South London, UK
  
• Approx: H8.5cm x W7.5cm

Please note: as this is a handmade ceramic, variations in pattern will occur, making each piece entirely unique.
