This hand-thrown ceramic mug by local artist Cindy of CS Moss & Mud features carved evergreen trees rising beneath a scattering of tiny stars. Soft washes of sage green and warm cream blend together in a natural glaze that feels both grounded and serene.
The gently tapered, handleless form fits beautifully in the hands, creating an earthy, intimate drinking experience. It’s perfect for slow morning coffee, evening tea, or cozy winter cocoa.
But this piece isn’t limited to the kitchen.
Its sturdy base and sculpted design also make it a beautiful pen holder, desk companion, or small vessel for creative spaces. Whether holding warm tea or your favorite writing tools, it brings a touch of the forest indoors.
Maker Story
Maker: Cindy – CS Moss & Mud
Cindy is a Prineville resident and the artist behind CS Moss & Mud. She first began her pottery journey in 2017 before stepping away due to life’s demands. In April 2025, she returned to the wheel and quickly rediscovered her deep love for working with clay.
Today, Cindy creates from her home pottery wheel while collaborating with a local studio to fire her finished pieces. Her dream is to one day have her own kiln and studio space right here in Prineville.
The wheel can be challenging, but the transformation of clay into functional art makes every moment worthwhile.
We’re honored to share Cindy’s work inside Fae Fire Shop and invite you to experience the heart behind each handmade piece.
