The ceramic process:
They start with raw clay, we produce our beautiful pottery creation using hand building methods, slabs, coils, etc.
Once completed they leave to dry, this can take several days for the piece to be fully dried out, any moisture left inside will cause the piece to crack or potentially explode in the kiln so the drying is not the be rushed.
Once fully dried, they fire the piece, this is essentially cooking it in a ceramic oven called a kiln.
Each piece gets bisque fired meaning they fire it to 1040°C, the piece has now transformed from clay to ceramic.
