Parnassus Books

We use a custom stamp and work with the team at Parnassus to select the perfect custom glazes for their mugs, magnets, and ornaments. Featured glazes are Opal, Acid Wash Denim over Teal, Spearmint, Blue Celadon, and a custom Slow Cool Slate.

All of the mugs are thrown on a wheel, so while they are very consistent in shape and size, each has its own character. Our Mission Potter is a vital part of the process - prepping clay, making and checking glazes, stamping the logo for mugs and magnets, and aiding in kiln loading and unloading.
