♻️ In an effort to be more sustainable, I use a honeycomb paper wrap which is a sustainable, biodegradable, and recyclable solution to traditional bubble wrap.

(As a ceramics artist bubble wrap is somewhat unavoidable for my most delicate pieces, but I will also try and reuse lightly used packing materials wherever possible).

My handmade pottery, including Barnacle Cups, are both beautiful & functional. I think about the form from every angle, placing barnacles and shells in strategic places, so the cup is comfortable to hold and admire.

#Sip:  Find joy in using your barnacle cups to sip morning coffee, afternoon tea, or for cocktails during Happy Hour.

#Plant: Where the land meets the sea.  Barnacle vases, bowls, and even cups make great planters for succulents and other indoor plants.

#Admire: Find your new favorite accent or focal point to enjoy in your home or office.
