On the shelf this month
Small batches, each one a little different.
The process
Four slow steps, no shortcuts.
A plate takes about three weeks from a bag of clay to your table. Most of that time it is just drying on a shelf, which is the part we never rush.
-
Wedge and throw
Clay is kneaded to push out the air, then centred and pulled up on the wheel.
-
Trim and dry
When it is leather hard we carve the foot ring, then let it dry slowly under cloth.
-
Bisque and glaze
A first firing makes it porous and strong. Then each piece is dipped by hand.
-
The glaze firing
A long, hot second firing melts the glaze to glass. We open the kiln the next morning.
Classes
Get your hands in the clay.
Small groups of six, aprons and tools included. Everything you make is fired and glazed for you to take home.

A note on the shop
The shop opens once a month.
We make in small batches, so the online shop opens on the first Sunday of each month and closes when the shelves are empty. Seconds with tiny flaws live on the studio table, at a kinder price.
