The rich, dark tones of Tenmoku glaze, is known for its deep, lustrous finish. This traditional Japanese glaze adds a sophisticated, timeless look to your ceramics.
This method involves shaping clay without a wheel, using techniques like pinching, coil construction, and slab building, offering more versatility in shapes and textures.
This vessel has been glazed and fired to allow it to be used in domestic and commercial settings. It's waterproof and dishwasher safe.
Floating Blue glaze is a mid-fire, variegated glaze known for its deep blue hues and the appearance of depth, resembling water. Its surface can vary from glossy to semi-matte, often exhibiting streaks or spots of lighter blues and greens, creating a visual effect that seems to "float" over the surface of the ceramic piece. This glaze is popular for its unique and unpredictable finish, making each piece distinct.
