Monday: clay on the table
Batches start small on purpose. We wedge only what will fit the next kiln load so nothing sits leather-hard for days waiting for shelf space.
Forming and drying
Bowls and cups are thrown or pressed, then left under cloth until they can take a handle or foot without slumping. Rushing this step is how pieces crack later.
Bisque, glaze, fire
After bisque, glaze is mixed for the current clay body. We keep recipes short so color stays honest. The glaze fire is the quiet part of the week: wait, open, sort, pack.
Why small batches matter
When something sells out, we wait for the next kiln rather than force a second run that looks different. Consistency comes from patience, not volume.
