November Mug of the Month

Belger studio member Paul Mallory, Alexander Krohn, and Kat Ramsey have collaborated on a mug series for the November Mugs of the Month. Krohn threw the mugs on the wheel, Ramsey decorated them, and Mallory glazed them.

Krohn is a master potter who produces historical pottery based on finds from medieval Europe. He also enjoys fusing aspects of historical shape with modern function. Mallory is a long-time artist who teaches ceramics. His goal is to create functional ceramics that serve as touchstones of beauty. Ramsey is skilled across all mediums and nature is her biggest muse. For this series of mugs, she drew inspiration from the grasses of western Kansas.

These mugs will be available online and at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery through November 30.

Purchase a Mug of the Month even if you don't have a subscription! This means you can buy a mug by an artist you love when they become available. However, having a monthly subscription reserves your spot to receive a new mug every month before they’re made available to the public.
