description

The Sophie Mug is a form I made with my wife, Sophie Fader, in mind. Designed for the morning cup of coffee in bed or afternoon cup of tea on the couch. A mug with the vibe of a winter teabowl, a wide body and narrow top to keep your drink nice and warm, but with a flat, wide bottom that wont tip over.

My Splatterware line is perhaps, in a way, my most simplistic body of work, yet the energetic quality the splatter effect has all of the dynamism and excitement you would expect in a piece of Lenziware. The splattering effect is carefully applied underglaze. The motif is an allusion to groggy, course, iron rich, stoneware clays that have a naturally speckled surface. However, these pots are made from 100% porcelain, a clay famous for it's purity and refined smoothness.
