Enjoy your favorite holiday beverage in a mug made by Belger resident artist Cindy Leung, the November Mug of the Month artist. Playfulness is an important part of Cindy’s work. While making her noodle mugs, she was flooded with childhood memories from when she was told not to play with her food at the dinner table. She remembers how much she enjoyed doing so even though it was taboo in her family. As an adult, she finds herself constantly driven by desires to explore, understand, and experiment with things that are considered taboos, such as not slipping and scoring when joining clay pieces together. She considers her noodle mugs the result of pushing material boundaries while having lots of fun in the process. Learn more about her by visiting her artist page.

December Mug of the Month featured artist is Belger resident artist Meredith Smith. Her mugs will be available online and in the gallery starting December 1. Learn more about Meredith by visiting our website’s Artists In Residence page.

You can 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 Mug of the Month subscription reserves your spot to receive a new mug before they are offered for sale to the public.
