Process

Working from clay to final ceramics piece consist of multiple steps, counting up to two weeks for one piece to finish.

shaping

It all begins with soft, raw clay. I hand-shape and mold it, letting creativity and touch guide the form.

refining

Once the shape is set, we smooth and refine the piece, adding details and ensuring balance.

drying

The piece dries naturally, allowing it to harden and prepare for the next stage. In this form, the clay is its most fragile and needs to be handled with the most care.

bisque firing

The first firing process takes the clay from fragile to firm, setting its basic form. During this firing, the clay reaches a temperature between 600 and 900 degrees, for sintering the clay.

glazing

Each piece is coated with glaze, adding texture, colour, and a protective layer. The colours of glazes are traditionally formed from minerals and metal oxides.

final firing

A second, higher-temperature firing between 1100-1200 degrees locks in the glaze and strengthens the piece, making it durable and unique.

finishing touches

After cooling, each item is inspected and polished, giving it the final touches before it’s ready for its new home.
