Thanks to everyone who entered! We will announce the winner Monday 7/13. We also made a YouTube video this week about how we safely package each cosmic mug…and then we tested the packaging with a slap shot:

How to guarantee a mug will survive packing and shipping.

Last but not least, a big thanks goes out to Men and Coffee for a few thousand photo likes! Check out their Instagram profile and you will spot a couple cosmic mugs:

Cosmic Mugs in Ceramics TECHNICAL Magazine

Special thanks to Ceramics TECHNICAL magazine for publishing an awesome pottery article written by author Marissa Deml! Marissa and I worked together last year and came up with the idea to create “Cosmic Mugs.” As a Marketing Intern, her final project was to write and submit an article to a professional publication. Thanks to her skills as an author, our work got published! You can read her four page article below, and also purchase a hard copy of Ceramics TECHNICAL here.

American Craft Council, “A Potter’s Journey: The Search for 1,000 True Fans”

This is the final post in, “A Potter’s Journey” for American Craft Council’s website. I’m so thankful for the opportunities they gave me to share the trials and tribulations from my roller coaster career as an emerging artist. Please consider supporting American Craft Council to help more artists build platforms for successful careers in the arts. Without further ado, part eight of A Potter’s Journey:

An artist named Sebastian Schuster also wrote a great blog post about my pottery, which you can read here:

YouTube Video, Cosmic Mugs: Pottery Inspired by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope

These “Cosmic Mugs” are largely inspired by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City (in the video, he’s the guy on my shirt). In his article titled, “The Universe As A Muse” Dr. Tyson said:

“Like the religious and mythological sources that so influenced art before and during the Renaissance, countless artists today are moved by the need to capture the cosmos—on film, in dance, and on canvas.”

Here is a video I made about how the cosmos influences my pottery. Enjoy!
