Vibrant colour pattern mug

I am proud to showcase my South African heritage through the geometric patterns on this handmade ceramic mug. The design is inspired by traditional African necklaces and bracelets that I have loved wearing since I was a young girl. Each triangle was carefully glazed with different colors to represent the vibrancy and beauty of our craft traditions. I used the slab method to build a strong form that honors the history of African patterns in a modern way. This mug is a great way for you to celebrate culture while enjoying your favorite soup or tea. Your support helps keep these traditions alive while giving back to our community.
