{"product_id":"residency-pottery-10","title":"Residency Pottery #9: Rosemaling Mug","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis March, 2024, I took off work for one month to embark on a studio adventure. I packed my bags and left for Lindsborg, KS, to spend the month wandering town and decorating a batch of my hand thrown pottery. Each piece was made on the pottery wheel by me in the months leading up to the residency. Then, I used ceramics paints called \"underglazes\" to embellish each piece. My mission was to collect motifs and stories to tell using my pottery and decorations. I haven't painted much since I graduated Bethany College in 2014, so this month was spent exploring and getting comfortable with my paintbrushes again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis mug was inspired by the painting technique, Rosemaling. Lindsborg was begun by Swedish Immigrants who brought their heritage with them including the appreciation in the arts. That has helped cultivate a community that continues to appreciate it and decorates their town with it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis Cappuccino Mug can hold up to  12 fl oz, and measures 4.5\"w x 4\"h. \u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003eEach piece is handmade by Christi Becker and are created in likeness of the original.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christi Becker Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42188928024610,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/2721\/4882\/files\/residency-24_69905067-c6be-44ae-88f7-dc19f8535d21.jpg?v=1712966377","url":"https:\/\/christibecker.co\/products\/residency-pottery-10","provider":"Christi Becker Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
