Kiln & Clay, a ceramics studio and school

Scroll to follow a piece

Centre the clay.

It starts as a wet lump on a spinning wheel. The messy, wonderful part where a shape is pulled up out of nothing.

Once leather-hard, the piece goes back on the wheel to be turned, cut, and cleaned into its lines.

A first bisque firing turns fragile clay into something that can take glaze without falling apart.

Dip, wax, and load the kiln. The second firing turns dull powder into colour and glass.
