Title
Handcrafted Pottery and Stained Glass by Earthen Arts
Description
Everything at Earthen Arts studios is done by hand. Raw clay is weighed and then vigorously kneaded in a process known as “wedging.” To be thrown upon a wheel, clay must first have the correct “plasticity,” or in other words the correct consistency between clay and water. This hand mixing also removes air bubbles that can mar the item at various stages in its creation.
The wedged clay is then placed on the wheel and “centered”. This allows a symmetrical body to be created. The wheel can be spun at varying speeds based upon what the potter wishes to do.
Bisqued pieces are checked over and then glazed for a second firing to add color and either matte or gloss finishes as may be required.
