The Studio Chair

Cup of the Week: 1/2 Celedon, 1/2 Flashing Slip Mugs

7/10/2014

 
This week  I am featuring a set of mugs. I have 4 in the set, three are pictured here. These mugs are glazed with a soft white shino glaze on the inside and a 1/2 dip in celedon on the outside over flashing slip. The glazes mix creates subtle color variations which are further enhanced by fly ash from the firing. These make great "everyday" mugs (this is the style I use most in my own home). Like all of my wood-fired pots, they are microwave and dishwasher safe.

About David  

David J. P. Hooker lives and works in the greater Chicago area, where he is an artist and Chair of the Art Department at Wheaton College. He received an M.F.A. in Ceramics from Kent State University and a B.A. in English from Furman University. 
 
His artistic practice explores the inherent value of materials, objects, and places, hoping to find ways to better connect and understand the world we live in. Recently he was awarded the Dunhuang Ceramic Residency and spent two months as artist in residence in Lanzhou, China. 
 
When David is not freaking out over deadlines, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Elaine, his children Abbey and Samuel, and the family cat, Evee. He also enjoys baseball, BBQ, and tennis—not necessarily in that order.
