Our Process: Form, Glaze, Etch

Each mug is handmade using slip casting techniques and finished with our custom-blended glazes. The top is glazed in a rich, glossy black that fades naturally into the exposed golden clay at the base. The dragonfly—not a decal or stencil—is part of the clay body itself, sealed under glaze in the final high-fire process for durability and depth.

Made in Jaroso, Colorado

This piece is crafted by hand at Sarah Welch Pottery, a family-run studio in the San Luis Valley. With over 25 years of dedication to slow, intentional making, we create functional ceramics that honor material, time, and the ritual of use. From barware and travel mugs to bronze miniatures and keepsakes, each piece tells a story rooted in care.

Please Note: Each Mug is Unique

Due to the handmade nature of our work, each mug varies slightly in glaze flow, carving depth, and shape. These variations are intentional and celebrated—evidence of human hands and artistic touch. You’re not buying mass-produced drinkware—you’re welcoming a singular, soulful object into your daily life.
