A few steps of many captured by @avanpodhajsky ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 1. Pouring slip (a special kind of liquid clay) into plaster moulds. The plaster draws moisture out of the clay in a capillary action, forming a skin against the interior face of the mould which thickens with time. Our stoneware pieces tend to take 12-15 minutes to reach the ideal thickness depending on environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. ​​​​​​​​ 2. "Dumping" slip into our poring tables & straining the runoff so there are no impurities in the next pour. The moulds remain upside down for about 15 minutes while the liquid clay drains off and enters into a "leather hard" state. ​​​​​​​​ (skipping over about 10 steps that follow) ​​​​​​​​ 3. Unloading bisqueware from the kiln. At this point, the pieces are in a rigid but porous state which allows them to absorb glaze before being fired a second time.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ There are a couple of rounds of sanding, cleaning, and of course glazing and firing that follow. Needless to say, it takes many weeks if not months from start to finish. Patience is a practice we are very familiar with <3
