STEP 1

shaping

We create shapes by hand and we throw on the weel.

STEP 2

drying process 1

after forming we let the pieces dry till they are "leather hard" 

STEP 3

trimming

when the Plates are leather hard we trim the excess clay off, and now we have the final shape.

STEP 4

drying process 2

we let our pieces dry for about 3 weeks so we are sure, there is no more water in the clay.

STEP 5

biscuit fire

after the drying process we load the kiln and fire the tableware on 1000 degrees Celsius.

this process takes 12 hours to finish and another 12 hours to cool down. 

STEP 6

glazing

now we put the glaze on the pottery and fire it again.

glaze is a glass powder that melts on the shard to get the colors. 

STEP 7

glaze fire

temperatures wil now rise between 1220 and 1270 degrees celsius.

this fire also takes 24 hours to be completed.

STEP 8

grinding & polishing

we grind our plates on three different type of diamond sheets to get the surface smooth.

polishing for a nice end result.

STEP 9

packaging & sending

Even the packaging we take very seriously and therefor, we often use wood to ship our products to far away countries.

sending is most of the times with the same service we use in europe, but for big quantities we send by other transport companies and we put it on a pallet. 

STEP 10

happy customer

we still have to hear from our first unsatisfied customer, but we hope that day never comes!
