All-Seeing Tarantula Mug

This piece is a celebration of the transition season. Made specially for the most devoted arachnid lover.

The mug was thrown on the pottery wheel with rich, golden stoneware clay. Once firm enough to work, the mug was trimmed then joined with a hand-sculpted tarantula and handle. 

After slowly drying, it was fired, finished with glazes then fired twice more. The eye on the tarantulas back is coated in precious 24 karat gold.

Tarantulas are messengers of patience and trust. These intelligent creatures are masters of waiting and intuitively knowing that all it needs will come. Call on tarantula energy in times of feeling stuck, lost or antsy about your life.
