All pieces are hand built from a mixture of porcelain & stoneware clays using a combination of coiling, press molding and slabbing processes. Sometimes organic material is mixed with the clay which will burn out during the firing and later be inlaid with a contrasting colour. All work is burnished before firing between 980 and 1100 centigrade. A second firing involves a range of smoke firing techniques including saggar firing and open firing. The nature of the firing means that no two pieces are the same, giving each its own distinctive surface marking, unlike any other.
