Deep Earth Ceramic Handmade Cup

WHY DRINK FROM CLAY?

Ceramic materials are made of clay which is also composed of silicon dioxide and a blend of other minerals, depending on where the clay comes from.

Clay has a layered crystalline structure very similar to water’s crystalline geometry. It holds the resonance of the Earth more strongly than glass and it allows water to breathe—even when the clay has been glazed (although to a lesser degree). Ceramic materials protect water from long periods of direct light.

Their breathe-ability keeps water cool while they energetically refine water’s structure.

ABOUT TASH KLA

Tash Kla, an artist and self-taught ceramicist who weaves a heartfelt connection with their craft, employing hand-building methods to craft tableware and homeware that seamlessly captures the spirit of nature.

Her passion lies in the creation of functional objects meant for everyday use, with a sincere intention to infuse a gentle awareness into the fabric of simple moments.

In the intimate process of sculpting, whether through the tender touch of hand-pinching, the rhythmic dance of coiling, or the careful artistry of slab rolling, each piece becomes a testament to the artist's devotion. Tash's artistic journey centres around the profound significance of hands as more than mere tools; they are conduits of creation and vessels for expression.

Through the tactile artistry of hand-building with clay, the artist has discovered the transformative power of our own bodies and hands—innate, ready-made tools that offer boundless opportunities for creativity. It's a journey infused with warmth, where the artist's creations become not just objects but embodiments of a personal and shared connection to the art of making.
