Ceramic Pottery Coffee Mugs & Cake Platters

These Ceramic Pottery Coffee Mugs have been hand made and decorated by Jengis Poor.  Jengis' connection with the ceramic arts goes back to early childhood when as a young boy he enjoyed playing around with clay and making things in his parent's pottery studio.  At the age of 16, a serious interest in ceramics was sparked when he went to Coromandel, to work with the pioneering New Zealand potter, Barry Brickell, at the Driving Creek Pottery. There he learned to get a feel for the clay, how to use the potter's wheel and some of the other secrets of hand thrown pottery.  His current medium is high-fired earthenware clay sourced in the South Island, stained with metal oxides and finished with a clear over-glaze. All his work is hand thrown on a traditional Bernard Leach kick wheel, and Jengis individually hand decorates each piece. Jengis' artwork, including larger one-off pieces, can be found in art galleries throughout New Zealand.

The cake platters are made by Studio Ceramics.
