Ceramics is a slow trade and everything is a matter of time. Each work requires several weeks to be carried out and goes through several stages until the final result.

First you have to prepare the clay. It is kneaded to make it homogeneous and to eliminate all air pockets.
The process of the pieces can last from 1 to 2 days.
Final touch-ups are done while the piece is not completely dry.

After drying for a few days, depending on the temperature and humidity, the pieces are ready for high-temperature firing, which reaches 1,240 °C (2.264 ºF) and lasts 3 days.

In the event that the piece is glazed, a first firing is carried out that amounts to 950 °C (1.742 ºF) and lasts 3 days. From the kiln it comes out of a ceramic that is hard but porous and therefore still relatively brittle. Then proceed to glaze and the second firing at 1.240 ºC (2.264 ºF).

we send to your home a container with recyclable materials and minimal plastic. The labels are made of cotton fabric with eco-friendly inks. Each piece is secured inside one or two padded double channel cardboard boxes for your safety.
