Tumblers, mugs, a couple of plates and a bowl

Desert Canyons

I wanted to see how a plate and a bowl in this style might look paired with a mug, so below are my very first Desert Canyon plates. I may or may not make more of these, to be honest. It just had to be tried :)

I hesitated to sell a plate and/or bowl together with a mug as a set, in case you might prefer a plate with a tumbler or with a piece you have already purchased from me.

All of the stoneware pieces are microwave and dishwasher safe, although gentle hand washing is recommended. They also have a bit of texture to them.

I sand and smooth the unglazed parts but the glazed parts have teeny bits of texture poking through the glaze here and there. If you prefer a smoother piece, you may want to opt for the porcelain tumblers further below.

This series is inspired by the vast skies, rocky landscapes, and cacti in my desert surroundings..

Altars

I think of an altar as a space for quiet reflection, connecting to Nature or a higher power, to set intentions, to place meaningful items, or to light a candle/incense to fill the room with light or a pleasant scent.

Nature is where I go to recalibrate and reflect, feel awe and connection to the Earth. My teeny place in the universe comes into focus, which is refreshing. My altars are inspired by rocky desert canyons and tinajas —a concave depression carved into granite—where rainwater collects and reflects the sky.

I like to fill the pools in these altars with local sand/crushed rock and create a mini fire ring out of desert rocks, then place a cone/block of incense over the rocks. It creates a teeny campfire reminiscent of one the things I love most about camping.

All altars are high fired and made with food safe glazes for easy washing. They are designed to be placed on either a flat surface or hung on the wall.
