Makers

Made with makers.

MORA's cups, dishes, cloths and trays come from three small studios. Each one works in a single material and knows it well.

How did the Day Marker Cup start?

With the handle. MORA wanted a cup you could pick up without looking, so we threw dozens and trimmed the handles until one sat right under the thumb. The colors came after that.

What does a glaze test look like?

A wall of small tiles, each a slightly different mix. We fire them, line them up in daylight and keep the one that looks the same at noon and under a lamp. For MORA, that took longer than the cup itself.

How should people live with ceramics?

Use them. A cup that stays in the cupboard never picks up the small marks that make it yours. Wash it by hand, dry it before stacking and keep it somewhere you'll see it.
