Studio Timeline
Every piece moves through the same sequence, though the timing shifts with the weather, the drying rack, and how full the kiln is. Here is how a run actually unfolds.
Step 01
Each form starts as a weighed ball of mid-fire stoneware. Wedging works out air pockets before the clay ever touches the wheel head.
Same day
Step 02
Mugs and bowls are thrown on the wheel. Serving plates and planters are rolled into slabs and shaped by hand, which leaves a softer rim.
Days 1 to 3
Step 03
After a short drying period the piece is turned over and trimmed. This is where the foot ring gets refined and the thumb mark stays.
Days 3 to 5
Step 04
Dipping or pouring, depending on the form. Speckled surfaces come from glaze families that pool in the recesses and break over the rim.
Days 6 to 8
Step 05
Oxidation or reduction, recorded for every listing. Results shift slightly between runs, which is why kiln openings are documented.
Days 9 to 11
Step 06
Food-safe finish is confirmed before a piece moves to the shelf. Anything outside the intended result goes to seconds or sample tiles.
After the kiln opens
Questions about a firing, a specific piece, or a custom dinnerware order are handled by the same small team that runs the wheel and the kiln. Pick the channel that fits what you need, and expect a reply once we are back from the studio floor.
If your question is about a piece already listed, mention the collection and the glaze family in your message. It saves a round of back and forth and gets you a real answer faster.
Best for catalog questions, custom dinnerware requests, and trade inquiries. Include the piece name and any dimensions you need.

Studio method
Every listing on this site follows the same path through the studio. Nothing skips a step, and the notes you read next to a mug or a bowl come straight from that sequence: forming, drying, trimming, glazing, firing, and a final check before the piece is packed.
Clay is weighed to the gram before it touches the wheel. Mugs and bowls are thrown; serving plates and planters are rolled into slabs and shaped by hand. The form decides the technique, not the other way around.
Pieces rest until leather-hard, then go back on the wheel for trimming. This is where the foot ring gets cut and the profile is refined. Thumb marks and tool lines from this stage stay visible on the finished piece.
Glaze goes on by dipping or pouring, depending on the form. Speckled surfaces come from specific recipe families that pool in recesses and break over rims, which is why two pieces from the same run never look identical.
Every listing records its firing type, whether oxidation or reduction. Results shift slightly between runs, so kiln openings are documented and the differences are noted rather than hidden.
Food-safe finish is confirmed before anything reaches the shelf. Pieces with a glaze run, a slight warp, or a kiln kiss move to the seconds shelf and get listed with the flaw described.
Pieces are wrapped and boxed for careful shipping once the run is listed. Counts stay small, restocks follow irregular cycles, and the next batch is announced after the following kiln opening.
