Cicada Mug

Mug is hand thrown on the wheel using speckled clay. The handle is pulled and put on during the trimming process. Mug is fired, then glazed, then an iron oxide cicada is placed on the front and the mug is fired a 3rd time. This allows the iron oxide to melt into the surface of the glaze. Available in yellow and cream options, as well as two different cicada designs!

Dishwasher and microwave safe.

Holds up to 12 oz. About 4 to 4.5 inches tall.

Mandee Wilson resides in Hurricane, WV with her husband Lenny. She received a master’s degree in Environmental Science from Marshall University and conducted research for 10+ years. After taking pottery classes from Homaira Khatun (Ahmed) at Arts and Thoughts Studio in Teays Valley, WV, and gaining a bunch of wonderful new lifelong pottery friends, she was totally hooked on the artform. You can usually see a bit of an environmental influence on her pieces.
