The Stoneware's Life Cycle

1. Clay selection

   We begin with locally selected clays chosen for color, plasticity and durability.

2. Throwing & forming

   Pieces are thrown on the wheel or hand-built, then refined while leather-hard.

3. Trimming & refining

   Edges are smoothed, bases are trimmed, and details are worked by hand for balance.

4. Bisque firing

   The pieces go into the kiln for the first firing to prepare the surface for glaze.

5. Glazing

   Glazes are hand-applied; variations are embraced as marks of the handmade.

6. Final firing & finishing

   High-temperature firing gives the stoneware its strength and brings the glaze to life.

7. Onto your table
