One thing that my husband and I have tried to do over the years is pass along our love of our country's National Parks to our children. Every summer, we try to do some major camping trip related to visiting National Parks. So, I felt it was only fitting to end up doing a series of pieces themed to some of our favorite parks that we have visited, and a few we plan to visit! As a family, we have vowed to use the sales from these cups to continue our exploration of our National Parks as a family!
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one park we visit each and every year. I am constantly amazed it is only a 6 hour journey to this wonderful mountain paradise for us! We visit with our family each summer, with a big 'ole family reunion... with grandparents all the way down to little great-grandkids too! From the joyous trek we took one year on the Appalachian Trail with my dad the year he turned 80, to the strolls on the wheelchair accessible trails we continue to take so my mom can still enjoy what she had for all her life, to our annual visits to our drives through Cherokee Orchard Nature trail, and Cades Cove with the wildlife... this is a park which has given our children a true LOVE of nature.
Makes a great gift for that special someone who loves Great Smoky National Park... or just a treat for yourself!
Mug capacity approximately 16 ounces.
Approximately 4.5" tall, 3.5" wide
A wonderful cup with which to enjoy your morning coffee! I threw this on my potters wheel, and when leatherhard, I trimmed, applied the handle and my original designed and handmade stamp that I made just for these mugs! After bisque firing, I dipped and poured the glaze, and carefully sponged away the excess from the stamp face. I then refired to cone 6 (2220 degrees F) I am absolutely thrilled with the result!
Check out my accompanying shino or croc blue glazed pieces to complement this... especially my line of National Parks Mugs!
