I spend hours carving those deep ridges, which actually provide a better grip for your hand when you are holding a cold, condensation-covered drink. It is a bit of 'jugaad', a functional design choice that makes your weekend drink that much easier to hold. ### Nostalgia in Every Sip The KHUMĀR collection is my tribute to the uncomplicated, joyous gatherings I grew up with. Inspired by the clinking glasses and laughter of army parties, I wanted to create pieces that ground us in those moments of connection. Whether you are hosting a weekend hangout or a quiet dinner, these pieces are built to be part of the story. ### Form Meets Function I craft each piece using high-fired, non-porous stoneware, ensuring they are not only beautiful but durable enough for the dishwasher and microwave. - **The Beer Mugs:** Designed with an ergonomic handle and a heavy, stable base. - **Chip & Dip Platters:** Perfect for casual snacking, featuring the same consistent geometric carving as the mugs. - **Shot Glasses:** Small, sturdy, and finished with the signature GOAK studio mark. ### The Crafting Process Every ridge and pattern is hand-carved, not molded. I use a technique that involves specific pressure and clay moisture levels to achieve that sharp, clean geometric look. It is a slow, meditative process, but it creates a tactile experience that you can feel every time you pick up a mug. Because I fire these at 1220 degrees Celsius, they are fully vitrified, making them completely food-safe and ready for a lifetime of use. ## About Gauri Oak I am Gauri, the potter behind GOAK Ceramics. This studio is my heart, where we turn simple clay into stories. I love nerding out on handle proportions as much as I love seeing you walk away with muddy hands and a smile.
