These stoneware Pet Bowls are made using the art of hand-building which requires the clay to be rolled flat using a slab roller. Pattern pieces are then cut and names are stamped into the clay. I then build into the desired shape with the help of a former.
After the Bowls have dried naturally for a week, they go into the kiln for their first firing at 1000 degrees. When they have completed the 24hr program, they are ready to be glazed.
I hand-paint the lettering with a dark grey underglaze then apply 2-4 coats of glaze to the main body of the Bowl. They are then fired for the second time at 1200 degrees for another 24hrs.
After they’ve cooled sufficiently, I sand the base and meticulously pack them up using fully recyclable packaging.
About the Glaze
My Green glaze has variegated sage tones that comes out both matt and gloss (it has a mind of its own!). I add white and teal glass crystals to the inside of the Bowl which burst in the kiln, creating a magical effect
Important Information
- Due to the hand-built nature of this technique, my products will never be perfectly round. I love their imperfections which make the unique :)
- All items are dishwasher and microwave friendly
- Please note that stoneware is porous and condensation can occasionally occur underneath
