mugs at emilymurphy's Shop

emilymurphy's Shop Announcement

I love making pots, big and small. Mugs, bowls, plates & platters. Jewelry, wall pieces and soap dispensers. They are all thoughtfully designed for the ultimate balance between functionality and beauty.

What is soda firing, you ask?
Soda firing is a unique firing process. After 12 hrs of firing, the kiln reaches around 2250'F. This is when the magic begins. I add in a mixture of wood chips, water,calcium carbonate, soda ask & baking soda (yes, the Arm & Hammer kind). This mixture will burn and the soda will vaporize into a vaporous glaze. The vapor is carried on the flame throughout kiln and lands on the pots and glazes each piece. This creates a unique surface that is varied and unpredictable. Each piece is completely one of a kind.

All my work is lead-free and user friendly. The pieces that are completely ceramic (not soap dispensers & jewelry)are microwave and dishwasher safe. Perfect for everyday use!
