The Pottery Process

Step One

‘Slopping Pots’

An ancient skill still used in its simplest form. Hand thrown on the potters wheel - only modern wheels are high speed and electric.
A slab of clay can be transformed before your eyes and moulded into functional piece of art.

Step Two

Bisque: The First Firing

The kiln - either electric or gas - is lined with ceramic fiber wool, and  heated to temperatures of 1020°c. The clay dries into one solid shape, shrinking  slightly as it hardens.

Step Three

Glazing the Piece

Glazing is the last part of the process, refining and adding that final touch. Dipping or brushing the glaze onto the piece creates an impervious coating of beautiful colour. We then fire again at 1200°C ( just shy of lava temperature) to create a smooth finish that is safe for food and drink.
