I Took Inspiration From a Light Fixture + Made a Mug | Full Time Ceramicist

Lately, I’ve been feeling a little creatively stuck. Not burned out, just repeating myself.

So I started a new series where I leave the studio, visit local coffee shops, and make a mug inspired by each space. Sometimes it’s the interior, sometimes the overall vibe, and sometimes it’s just the drink in my hand.

In this video, I visit Marta, sketch on-site, and then head back to the studio to throw, trim, glaze, and finish a mug inspired by the warmth and calm of the space. To close the loop, I bring the finished mug back to the coffee shop it was inspired by.

This series is about getting out of the studio, reconnecting with creativity, and reminding myself that inspiration doesn’t have to come from the same art form. It can come from anywhere.

If you’ve been feeling creatively stuck, I hope this encourages you to slow down, notice what you’re drawn to, and let real life inspire your work again.
