Description
The only way to drink coffee (for me). I make one of these once in a blue moon - usually for my own use, maybe for a good friend...Related content

Yeah, I know what you mean, Jeff makes less than one a year, if that. They take hours so they would have to be priced insanely high, and are a functional item--two things Jeff isn't comfortable with.

Thank you
Jeff doesn't like making functional art, so he made this for him and then was pressured by a few close friends to make them one too...frankly, if he were to price it, it would be ridiculous, it's probably 8 hours of work for this, maybe more.

hahaha wow! no i understand! its ok! I just drink coffee. alot. i do metal sculpting for fun, and thought after seeing his work, oh wow! lol. also drink alot of coffee walking around my company checking progress across the diff floors and projects.
I felt inspired by him, so I will be producing a hard plastic and stainless steel mug of my own inclinations, thank him for me!

whenever you're in the Bay Area, you'll find us a welcoming bunch, especially when coffee's involved
shoot me a note if you have plans to be around

I used to live in Oakland and SF... went to school at CCA (then CCAC) I always loved going to friend's lofts in Emeryville.

I am coveting this cup! Stunning precision on the carving.
I can appreciate that you only make one once in a while and that it might be for a friend. Sometimes I find that giving my most treasured work to a friend is what makes me the happiest....

Thank you : )
So Jeff and I were talking about this, and perhaps this could turn into a topic for a journal entry... Jeff only sells non-functional art, on the occasion that he makes functional art - it is for him or friends.

That would be a great journal topic... how an artist keeps some part of their art for themselves and those close to them, keeps a part of it sacred instead of allowing it all to become part of the commercial side of being an artist....
