PRODUCTION

The pieces are fired with firewood in a brick oven, without use of oil, gas or electricity. The colour of the clay is natural and it is given by the mixture of clay and stone powder from the same region. The pieces are burnished, this is an ancient technique which is about polishing the pieces with a hard stone like quartz, this process closes the pores of the clay making it watertight and creates a unique shine and soft texture without any glaze added. To create a special and vibrant colour as well as unique shine the pieces are showered in liquid beeswax, creating a very thin cover that penetrates the first layers of the clay.
