Manufacturing glazed earthenware
We use natural clays. All our pieces are shaped by hand, turning and stamping.
turning: Producing a component with a turn from a ball of clay.
stamping: Making a piece of clay defined thickness that can be applied on a mold to give it shape.
The pieces made are then engobed, ie covered with a layer of clay affixed white liquid with a ladle or dipping, which will provide support for decoration.
We create our own color-based engobe and oxide dye which gives the relief characteristic touch.
After final drying, we conduct an initial firing around 950 degrees.
The parts are initially biscuit then dipped in a bath of enamel called covered or painted.
We then proceed to a second firing around 1000 degrees which will reveal the colors and give its final appearance in our pottery.
Ceramic is a material that breathes and patina. Irregularities of shape and color are not defects but témoignagne of craftsmanship.
