Pisces Pottery - Hand Made

Honest pots for every day use.

All pots have been hand crafted by myself, either wheel thrown, wheel thrown and altered, or hand built using coils or slabs of clay. I use a variety of stoneware and earthenware clays. These are generally twice fired in an electric or gas kiln to between 1120-1300c dependant on clay and glaze. I make most of my glazes from raw chemistry allowing for more individual results.

Clay to Pots

Converting clay into a pot is a craft. It is a craft that has been practiced for thousands of years across the globe. It takes a great deal of practice. Often people make the mistake of thinking it is easy. It’s easy when you know how and, as with most things, gets easier with practice - lots of practice.

From Clay to Ceramic

The pots are allowed to completely dry before being fired in a kiln. I use both electric and gas-fire kilns. ,The type of fuel and design of the kiln itself has a significant impact on the finished look of the pots.

Colour & Decoration

Decoration can be added to pots at different stages dependant upon the type of effect being sought. The type of kiln and firing process beit raku, oxidation or reduction will also affect the outcome.
