Ceramics Process
MAKING |
All work is made in porcelain, is wheel thrown and finished by hand. |
TOOLS |
Hand tools are used for the making of the vessels as well as for trimming of the product. The off cuts of clay are then re-cycled into a ‘slip’ to be re-used. The colours are painted, dipped or sprayed onto the work, a similar technique to that used on majolica ware.
|
GLAZING |
All of the glazes are made and developed by myself and are applied to the vessels by the method of either dipping or spraying to achieve the desired effect. |
FIRING & FINISH |
My work is fired in an electric kiln to 1280° creating a clean glaze finish. This is necessary for the work to become fully vitrified and to enable the holding of liquids in a vessel if desired. The end result is a high fired porcelain vessel – a truly unique handmade piece. I am proud to be able to produce one-of-a-kind pieces for the enjoyment of all. |
