What Cwtch means to me!
Cwtch is a special word for the heart.
It’s a Welsh word that has no direct English translation.
Think of it as that special hug that a parent gives thier child, a lover gives their loved one, a grandparent gives thier Granchild, a friend gives their friend when times are hard. It’s a cuddle on the sofa in a long relationship. It’s a word of love. It’s a word that means a small safe place. It’s a feeling of love and safety and comfort.
We all have our favourite mugs. This is a mug for a favourite person.
I wanted to make a range of mugs for everyone. All of us are different, all of us are special – so are my mugs.
You would receive a mug very similar to the one in the photo. This lovely mug is made from a good quality stoneware clay making it strong and durable.
It will make a beautiful gift for anyone you know or a special gift to yourself.
I threw the body of the mug from a white stoneware clay on my potters wheel. The body then takes a day or two to firm up before it can be handles again. I then turned the base of the mug and made and attached the handle and decoration. The mug then has a long slow dry to ensure that the mug dries evenly and the handle attaches strongly. The mug is the fired to 1000C; this is the bisque firing. Glaze is then applied to the mug; the detail with a brush and then dipped in a clear glaze. This needs to dry before being loaded into the kiln for it’s glaze firing to 1240C.
Approximately 9.5 cm tall and 8 cm wide.
I sign all my pieces with my initials, REJM. To me each one deserves to be acknowledged as individual. You will receive a mug very similar to the one in the photo. The handmade nature of studio pottery, the unpredictability of the glaze reactions in the kiln makes all pieces unique.
