Shipping day is one of our favorite days! Not so much the actual packing part, but the part where we get to send pots out to their new homes is great. #thedemocraticcup #dougpeltzman #michellesummers #TheBrightAngle #TBAHandmade #TheRefineryCreatorSpace #TheRefinery #TheRefineryAsheville #design #porcelain #tableware #pottery #poterie #ceramics #ceramic #contemporaryceramics #keramik #poterie #cerámica #keramikk #krukmakeri #craft #contemporarycraft #potsinaction #ceramics #ceramicart #thedemocraticcup #democraticart #socialchange #shipping (at The Bright Angle)

Pulling a Doug Peltzman handle from the mold. Even the sturdier handles from The Democratic Cuo require a bit of finesse to pull from the mold. #TheBrightAngle #TBAHandmade #TheRefineryCreatorSpace #TheRefinery #TheRefineryAsheville #makerdesigner #handmadedesign #Americanhandmadedesign #handmadeinUSA #maker #makersmovement #studio #homedecor #interior #interiordesign #handmade #DSLooking #MakersMovement #slipcast #moldmaking #AshevilleNC #Asheville #NC #NorthCarolina #WNC #WesternNorthCarolina #tableware #pottery #dougpeltzman (at The Bright Angle Handmade Design Studio)

The Eye of the TigerDonkey cup, designed by Doug Peltzman and Michelle Summers, is multilayered in meaning. In the words of Michelle, "My drawing wishes to re-energize the Democratic Party by depicting it uniting with the voices of the people. I recreated the symbolic Democratic donkey into a cross-breed magical tiger donkey, inspired by one of my favorite 80's songs "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, and my current interest in Korean scroll paintings of tigers. The TigerDonkey's yell, combined with the voices of the people, create a storm of change to stop the elephant approaching around the corner of the cup. The symbolic Republican elephant shows signs of stress and disorder. It has been blindfolded and is weighed down with loads of wealth by the wide-eyed robot riding atop. The blindfolded Elephant is at the command of the machine and in constant search of more money." #thedemocraticcup #michellesummers #dougpeltzman #eyeofthetiger #TheBrightAngle #TBAHandmade #TheRefineryCreatorSpace #potsinaction #slipcast #moldmaking #céramique #AshevilleNC #Asheville #NC #NorthCarolina #WNC #WesternNorthCarolina #elephant #donkey #democrat #pottery #tiger #democraticart #socialchange #PIAsociallyengaged #ceramics #ceramicart (at The Bright Angle Handmade Design Studio)
