Papyrus Mug

These Mugs are inspired by Egyptian Papyrus, which is still made today using an ancient handmade process, which I had the opportunity to learn about when I was there. I fell in love with the unique texture of papyrus and wanted to apply it to functional ceramics. 
These Mugs have been individually handmade using slab building techniques imprinted with the texture of papyrus. The colour of the clay I have chosen relates to the two different colors of papyrus.
