Carved Mug – Giant Pacific Octopus

Handmade carved mug featuring a giant pacific octopus nestled amongst bull kelp.

Mugs are wheel-thrown and carved by hand, creating a gently textured surface that feels comfortable and grounding to hold. Each carved section is carefully hand-glazed with 8–10 individual glaze colours, applied one by one to build a layered, vibrant surface. The detailed glazing process makes every mug completely unique, with subtle variations in colour and pattern that highlight the handmade nature of the piece.
