Three Great Mugs

Three Great Mugs from local potters

If you've ever popped in for a cuppa you'll know about my obsession with studio ceramics, there's not a commercially produced cup, plate or bowl in the house! So this post is close to my heart.

Let me introduce you to three kiwi potters who make the most extraordinary mugs... welcome to Three Great!


Richard Naylor

Richard is a hugely experienced potter, crafting domestic pieces that make the heart sing. He also runs hand-building workshops which are loads of fun - but get in quick because they fill up fast!

Lilly is the resident potter at Further Doings, an incredible studio just down the road from me. She makes fantastic travel mugs in the most wonderful coloured glazes. Perfect for protecting your water from thirsty kittens!

Studio Soph

I bought my sister a mug by Studio Soph for Christmas last year and she absolutely loved it. Corinne (my sister) said that it's her go-to work mug and she always gets comments from her colleagues.
