How is this made? All our items start from raw Australian clay and follow a long process from start to finish.

1. The raw clay in wedged into a workable peice of clay ready for the pottery wheel.
2. The wedged clay is put onto the pottery wheel where it is worked into the shape we require for the bowls. (this takes skill and practice).
3. The bowl is left for 2-3 days to dry out a little.
4. The bowl is then trimmed along the base and sides  ready for the next step.
5. We then hand sculpt the bow and attache to the back of the bowl.
6. The bowl is placed on the shelf to dry for 2-3 weeks.
7. The bowl is placed into the kiln for the first firing (this is called bisque).
8. The bowl is removed after 8 hours of firing when cool wnough to handle.
9. The bowl is hand painted and glazed and placed back into the kiln for its high firing making the bowl food safe,
10. The bowl is removed from the kiln anfter 9 hours of firing when cool.
11. The mother of pearl lustre is applied and the bowl is placed back into the kiln for another firing, If items have gold detailing there will be a 4th firing.
