Every piece begins with a simple block of clay — shaped, refined, and transformed through time, touch, and fire. 

1. Preparing the Clay
It all starts with wedging — kneading the clay to remove air bubbles and create an even, workable texture. This step ensures the strength and stability of each piece.

2. Shaping
The form is created by hand, either on the wheel or through hand-building techniques. This is where each piece starts to take on its own character — subtle variations that make handmade ceramics so special.

3. Drying
Once shaped, the clay is left to dry slowly and evenly. This stage can take several days and prevents cracks or warping before firing.

4. Bisque Firing – 900 °C
The first firing, at around 900 °C, transforms the fragile dried clay into a porous ceramic body. This makes it strong enough to handle and ready to absorb glaze.

5. Glazing
Each piece is then carefully glazed by hand to create color, texture, and depth. Glaze choice and application can completely change the personality of a piece.

6. Glaze Firing – 1240 °C
The second firing, at approximately 1240 °C, vitrifies the clay and glaze together. This makes the surface smooth, durable, and food-safe.

7. Finishing Touches
After cooling, each piece is checked, sanded if needed, and cleaned. The result is a unique ceramic object.
