Every ceramic piece begins with high-quality clay, which is shaped either by hand, on a potter’s wheel, or using molds. Once it takes its shape, it is naturally dried to remove moisture. Then, it is fired in a kiln at high temperatures to become durable. After the first firing, it may be glazed (a glossy or matte coating is applied) and fired again, achieving its final appearance.

• Shaping: The clay is formed using handmade or other techniques.
• Drying: The piece is left to dry naturally in a gentle way to reduce moisture and prevent cracks.
• First firing (bisque):The piece bakes for 10-12 hours at a temperature of around 1000°C. The ceramic becomes more durable, but its pores stay open so the glaze can sit on it.
• Glazing: A special glaze is applied to add color and protection.
• Second firing: The piece is finished with a second firing of 12-14 hours that reaches up to 1240 °C. Our ceramic gets its final look and is ready to use.

Creating a ceramic piece takes 1 to 3 weeks, depending on its size and complexity. Drying can take several days, while the firing and glazing process requires additional time. The handmade nature of the process demands patience and precision.

I use high-temperature, quality clay and non-toxic glazes that are safe for everyday use. Each piece is made with traditional techniques, sometimes combined with more modern methods, depending on its shape and character. Although I make most pieces on the wheel, the technique that really draws me in is coiling.

Handmade ceramics require time, skill, and attention to detail. Each piece is unique, crafted with care and passion, unlike mass-produced items. Additionally, high-quality materials and multiple production stages add to their value.

The price of a ceramic piece depends on:
• Size: Larger pieces require more material and time.
• Design: Intricate designs demand more labor.
• Technique: Some techniques, like hand-painted designs, are more labor-intensive.
• Quality: High-quality materials have a higher cost.
• Uniqueness: Each piece is one-of-a-kind, adding to its value.

To keep your ceramics in excellent condition:
• Wash them by hand or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature setting.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing them directly from the fridge into the microwave oven.
• Store them carefully to prevent chipping.
