Handcrafted & One of a Kind
Each Cosy Cup is handmade in my Murrumbateman studio with equal parts intention, caffeine, and chaos (usually while someone small is asking if dogs can marry cats or if I know how tall the Eiffel Tower is). These cups are wheel-thrown or handbuilt, then shaped, trimmed, and glazed by hand. They’re built for those glorious moments where you actually sit, sip, and remember you’re a whole human being — not just the person who knows everyone’s library bag day.
Unlike mass-produced mugs that all look the same and feel like a hotel buffet fork, Cosy Cups are each gloriously unique. Shapes lean, glazes drip, colours surprise — but the result is always the same: a cup that feels like it was made just for you.
Available in clean white or a colour family of your choosing (earthy, vibrant, soft), each Cosy Cup holds a generous 280–300ml. Perfect for your morning latte, peppermint tea, or that hot chocolate you’re 100% not sharing with the kids. By design, they’re handleless, inspired by the Japanese yunomi — but if you’re Team Handle, you can add one. (No judgement — sometimes grip is life.)
A Slow & Intentional Process
Because even big, cosy cups deserve the full spa treatment.
Days 1–2: Thrown on the wheel — depending on the clay, the studio vibe, and whether I’ve had my own coffee yet. Once shaped, they rest. Like me after lugging in the groceries, they need a moment.
Days 3–6: Trimming and refining. I tidy up the form, maybe add a cheeky maker’s mark, and, if you’ve chosen a handle, this is when I pull and attach it. Then it’s off to a damp box (basically a clay day spa) to dry slowly, so they don’t crack under pressure — unlike me in Week 8 of Term 4.
Days 7–10: Bisque firing. Into the kiln for their first big cook, turning them from baby-soft clay to sturdy ceramic grown-ups who can handle hot drinks and hot gossip.
Days 11–13: Glazing. Each one gets brushed by hand with at least three coats of glaze. No dunking, no shortcuts — just layer upon layer of personality-packed colour.
Days 14–16: Glaze firing. The kiln works its magic, colours melt and settle, and then I sand the bottoms silky-smooth and give each one a warm, soapy bath. Because they deserve it. And so do you.
