I created 106 cups

This series of cups was inspired by Burning Man: the silly phrases, fire, atmosphere, dust, emotions, and the art. Each set explored different shapes, handles, clays, glazes, and decoration techniques. It taught me so much and my throwing dramatically improved with this focused practice.

Above: My favorite mug of all. The shape was inspired by a vintage volcano mug I encountered in a coffee shop, while the design was inspired by the 2022 Empyrean Temple.

Burners found cups in outposts throughout the city

The dollhouse outpost build was lead by Jason Kuster. I supported him with design, painting, and construction offsite. Additionally I sewed the tablecloth, containing a hidden zipper to access a door in the table for extra mug storage.

Two other outposts were created by Jake Schemm and Rachael Hunter.
