Multi coloured Mug #2 | Wheelthrown| Alex Wilkinson

Neriage and agate-ware techniques inspired our wheel thrown range.  Different colours of clay are thrown together on the potter’s wheel, mimicking the variegated patterns of semiprecious agate stone.  The swirling colour patterns are both on the exterior and interior of the piece.  These fascinating colour swirls are determined by chance, resulting in a one-off mug.

Dimensions: Small approximate size: 9cm tall by 9cm wide (see picture 3 for more available mugs) sold separately.
