GG Artist Collaboration Mugs - Brush Painting series

The cup: Asian Calligraphy Painting inspired

We've teamed up with ceramist, Jung Kwak for our very own branded wheel thrown ceramic mugs. Each cup is made by hand and unique, so we've gone ahead and tagged each cup, so you can choose your own. 

The cups hold 12 oz of coffee. They are incredible for your daily cup of coffee or some of us like to use them interchangeably for our matcha as well. It's all about mood and inspiration. 

They are all handmade, wheel thrown, and fired in an electric kiln at cone 6 (midfire)

The black, speckled and porcelain cups are comprised of three different clays which create a marbled effect when they are thrown on the wheel. The inside is finished with a clear gloss glaze to highlight the speckling. 

All cups are food-safe, and are dishwasher and microwave-safe. Handwashing is recommended to prolong the life of the cups. 

Since these cups are wheel-thrown using a marbling technique, no two cups are alike. 

The artist: Jung Kwak - @Logan_ceramics 

“I grew up surrounded by art, and some of my fondest memories are of my father’s oil paintings that adorned every inch of our small family apartment in Queens, NY. Watching him paint taught me how he intuitively guided his brush strokes, seeking harmony and balance in composition, form, and color. 

By chance, I stumbled into pottery after spending over 25 years in graphic design. 

I felt a strong desire to create tangible works with my hands. 

My vessels reflect a blend of classical forms and modern influences. Just as the unique characteristics of wood grain tell a story, I explore texture and marbling techniques to create a distinct tactile language in clay. My hope is that these vessels will be cherished over time and offer comfort in your everyday life.”
