“Dzud” Teapot Set

This set is inspired by nomadic livestock cultures in Mongolia, who are suffering at a higher rate than they used to during winter due to climate change. 

Each side of the cups are a frame of a short walking animation, alluding to the constant movement of the animals and their caretakers. I mixed the teapot’s blue-green glaze.

The user could make their own stopmotion with an onionskin camera, following the numbers on the feet of the cup aligning with the corresponding frame.
