Strata is a Palm & Sip mug inspired by layered earth, sediment, and the slow formation shaped by time and pressure. Made from a dark clay body that reveals its character only through firing, this piece carries natural tones of brown and cream that emerge after being fired three times. Each firing builds depth, texture, and variation, creating a surface rich with layers and quiet contrast.
 
The name Strata reflects both the physical process and a deeper truth — much like the earth, we are shaped over time. Our experiences, habits, and practices become layers, gradually settling into who we are. This mug is a reminder that growth is an intentional journey, and that the sediment we carry is not weight, but wisdom. Finished with a thumb-dimple for a natural, comfortable grip, Strata is designed to support slow, grounding moments in everyday rituals.
