The Sunset Mug

Michele Agostinelli

Inspired by the landscape while taking her dogs on their daily walk through Playfair Park, local ceramicist Michele Agostinelli snaps an image of the sunset.

Drawing inspiration from the colours and forms made by the clouds, she creates a set of mugs and tumblers with pink, orange, and yellow hues.

"I find inspiration from the landscape for most of my projects. Rocky beaches interacting with dense, green forests, or the seaweed clustered together between barnacle covered rocks. I've even made clay barnacles and added them to a sides of plates I did for a dockside restaurant - the dishwashers didn't like me very much... But it helped cultivate a sense of place through the dining experience!"

Her work is an echo of the place she calls home.
