Porcelain – Porcelain is thrown and turned on a potter’s wheel. While the clay is half dry the design is drawn and cut out. After bisque firing, wax is applied to resist the glaze, copper carbonate is painted where desired, the glaze is applied and the pieces are fired to 1260 degrees C. Liquid metallic lustres are painted on, and then fired again to 700 degrees C.

Earthstone (that gritty stuff) – These pieces are made by throwing on the potter’s wheel or coiling. When half dry they are scraped to reveal the texture and porcelain slip is applied. After bisque firing, copper carbonate is painted on, and then clear glaze applied and fired to 1260 degrees C.

Jewelley – A piece of jewellery is modelled, and then a mould is made so the design can be repeated by press moulding. After bisque firing, copper carbonate is painted on, and then a clear glaze is applied. After firing to 1260 degrees C, liquid metallic lustres are painted and fired again to 700 degrees C.
