Hand making is always fun, with endless possibilities - it’s a bit messy , but worth it 💥

We fire most of our biscuit ware to 1100C to eliminate all impurities from the clay , and likewise for Eathen ware to ensure strength.

In our creative process we try different techniques to get the right results. Hand throwing ceramics is a fast way to create a body of product . Hand thrown ceramics have the advantage of being more stable / durable . Then it’s a case of further adjustment, manipulation, and decoration.

Some of designs require more attention, and it can take a long time to create a prototype. But then it can be a much faster process to replicate it by producing a mould to enable multiple copies with a unity of visual presentation.

Texture, or you can call it skin, can be made with a number of different techniques, and press moulding is one that we use a lot.

Glazing is the most difficult and mysterious process in the world of ceramics. It’s a best kept secret for some manufacturers and a world of pure wonder how chemistry and temperature produce such stunning effects. We only use glazes that are food safe!

In some cases we use gold lustre to enhance detail . Lustre is applied over a glazed surface and fired at 700C , so it’s takes three firings to produce the item . It is usually hand painted and requires fine brushstrokes plus sometimes a double application, which makes whole process very time consuming, and that’s reflected in the price of production.

We also experimenting with digital decals and we have few designs that we love ❤️
