Glazing Information

Our range of stoneware glazes are selected and developed for their quality and colour and are laboratory tested for food safety.

The pots are fired to 1280 degrees Celsius, resulting in a dense and durable product. During the firing, the amount of oxygen in the kiln's atmosphere is reduced and the flame pulls oxygen from the clay and glazes instead, infusing the glazes with deep, rich, iron tones.

Due to the unpredictability of the firing process and materials, all glaze finishes are unique and can vary significantly.

Please see details of our four glazes below.

Ash Glaze

Mixed using locally sourced wood ash, this glaze is a soft translucent GREEN with subtle variations, often with speckles, depending on the ash supplied.

 

Tenmoku Glaze

Originating in China, this iron-rich glaze gives a deep BLACK finish, breaking to RED-BROWN where it is thinner.

 

Dolomite Glaze

This creamy WHITE glaze is named after the high percentage of the mineral dolomite in the mix. Iron in the clay body comes through, giving a hint of blue.

 

Shino Glaze

Originating from Japan, the ORANGE shino glaze is rich in feldspar.
