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;\"\u003eDuring my residency, I loved walking around Lindsborg to collected Swedish motifs. Then I would bring the designs back to the studio to use as inspiration for my mug collection. This one was especially fun because I used all one color, blue, in varying densities to imply depth within the painting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis Bedside Mug can hold up to 12 fl oz, and measures 4\"w x 4.5\"h. \u003c\/span\u003e\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christi Becker Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42189057622050,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/2721\/4882\/files\/residency-069.jpg?v=1712967453","url":"https:\/\/christibecker.co\/products\/residency-pottery-16","provider":"Christi Becker Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
