Turn your horse into a functional piece of art with Emily VanderMey Ceramics

Unique Handmade Portrait

Hand drawn of your beloved horse

As one of a kind as your cherished pet, each of my mugs is custom-made from start to finish.

Inspired by photos and stories you share with me, I will hand draw your pet’s portrait, making renderings until you feel I have captured their likeness just right! From there I will draw it into the surface of one of my handmade ceramic mugs.

THE EMILY VANDERMEY CERAMICS PROCESS

How It's Made

Starting with a wheel thrown mug, well crafted handle, and meticulous application of colored slip (which is liquid clay) your mug takes form. Every part of the process is done by hand in my studio just outside of Asheville, NC.

The mug itself is designed to be comfortable to hold and to become the drinking vessel you reach for the most.

How It All Works

Order in my web shop, submit your photos & additional info

I'll send you a sketch via email and you approve or request changes

I color the mug, carve your pet into the clay's surface, and fire in my kiln

Why Hand Drawn

Just like us, our pets each have unique traits that mark their personality; a mischievous glint in the eye, a curious tilt of the head, or funny ears that perk up at the first sign of fun.

No matter who your best mate is, I love getting to know them as I draw their unique likeness and apply it to what I hope will become your favorite everyday mug.

Hand drawing your portrait transforms your mug from a cute keepsake to a priceless piece of art that you can use every day.
