The product process

Starting with a 25 pound block of clay, we homogenize the clay by wedging it into smaller sections. Then, on the wheel, pieces are made by hand pulling and throwing the clay into the desired shape. Once they’re a bit drier, pieces are trimmed and cleaned up, before getting fired to 1945º in our kiln. Once bisque fired, we hand paint and dip the pieces into glaze; a measured combination of primarily silica and water that creates the bright colors. After glazing, the piece is then fired again to 2167º, becoming vitrified after spending about 24 hours in the kiln. This process can take upwards of 2 weeks, depending on humidity and intricacy of the pieces.
