Stoneware clay

Clear food safe glaze

I get a lot of questions about the process of making clay into a finished piece so I thought I’d take you all to the studio with me to show you how I make the Berry Bowl.

Day 1

Everything starts with a hunk of clay, which I then wedge and roll out into a slab. The slab get pressed over a slump mold to give it the concave shape.

A couple hours later the clay will release from the mold and I’ll slip and score the handles on.

Day 2

I carve the drainage holes into the clay once it is leather hard.

I let the piece dry for about 2 weeks till it is consider bone dry. Then using underglaze I paint the berry design on each bowl. After this they go into a 2 day long bisque firing.

Once cool I glaze each piece in a food safe clear glaze and they go back in the kiln for another 2 day firing.

Viola a handmade strawberry bowl perfect for rinsing and serving!
