Our ranges, with sizes and prices
Four ranges in five glazes. Everything is stoneware, fired twice, the second time to 1280 degrees. Prices are what we charge at markets and at the studio.

How we make a piece, in about three weeks
Every pot is thrown, trimmed, dried and fired twice in the studio. We fire the kiln about every three weeks, so that is how often new work reaches the markets and shops.
Day 1, throwing
A mug starts as 450 grams of stoneware, thrown into a cylinder on the wheel.
Day 2, trimming
When it is leather hard we turn it over and trim the foot with a loop tool.
Days 3 to 9, drying and first firing
Pots dry on the shelves for about a week, then go into the first firing at 1000 degrees.
Days 10 to 20, glazing
We dip each piece and fire it again to 1280 degrees. This is copper teal up close.
Our five glazes
We mix every glaze in the studio from raw materials and test each new bucket on a tile before it goes on a pot. Here they are on the same oval bowl.
Copper teal
Copper in a clear base. Dark where it pools, pale green where it thins on the rim.
Celadon
A little iron in a clear base, fired with the air turned down. Soft green and glossy.
Oxide red
Red iron oxide over our buff clay. It turns amber where it runs thin over an edge.
Tenmoku
A black glaze high in iron. Rust brown streaks show where it breaks over the rim.
Speckled white
A satin white over a speckled clay. The iron spots in the clay come through in the firing.
Looking after it, and seconds
Every day use
Dishwasher and microwave safe, and oven safe up to 220 degrees. Do not put a cold pot into a hot oven. We sand every foot smooth so it does not scratch the table.
Seconds
Pieces with a small fault, like a glaze run on the foot or a rim that dipped in the kiln, are half price at markets and on open days. They are as safe to use as the rest.
