Notes from the studio
Kiln openings, glaze tests and how to look after the things we make.

What happens when we open the kiln
Two days of firing, a day of cooling, and ten minutes at the door finding out what worked.

Looking after handmade stoneware
Yes, it goes in the dishwasher. A few things that keep it looking new for decades.

A wall of glaze tests
How a new glaze gets from a notebook to the shop: forty tiles, three firings and the recipes for our celadon.
Hear when the kiln opens
Four kiln openings a year, new classes and the odd glaze experiment. One email a month at most.
