Making Process

From clay to cup

1. Clay — iron-rich local clay is aged for months.
2. Throwing — each piece is thrown on the wheel and trimmed by hand.
3. Bisque firing — a first low firing hardens the body.
4. Glazing — natural mineral glaze is applied by dipping.
5. High firing — the kiln reaches about 1300°C; iron crystals form the pattern.
6. Selection — only pieces with a clean form and a lively glaze are kept.
