◀︎◇ DESCRIPTION ◇▶︎

Possibly the coolest mug ever and definitely the most punk rock! Each skull is shaped and carved by hand and no two are identical. No molds or forms are used - just the skilled hands of Ana María Hernández of Taller Coatlicue and small hand tools. Ana María employs traditional Zapotec indigenous techniques, forming and firing each piece by hand over a wood-fired kiln in the hills of Oaxaca. Her family digs their own clay, harvests local natural minerals and plants to create these dreamy pigments, as well as uses the region's coffee grounds in the multi-step wood-fired kiln firing process. The result of the coffee's slowly burning contact with each piece leaves beautiful dark spots and shapes on the clay.
