All of our handmade pottery produced in our small production studio in Hillsdale, Michigan

We use clay mixed/manufactured in Ann Arbor, Michigan

After the pottery is made on a potters wheel or by Slab- It has to dry for a few hours to one full day to then be decorated with one or more of our stamped designs

another day or two of drying we apply finishing touches - handle, trim, clean-up, sign, and stamp the bottoms 

Once the pottery is completely dry we pre-fire all of the work to 1945 degrees F- this makes the pottery porous so that it absorbs glaze

Glazing begins as soon as the pottery is unloaded - we use glazes mixed/manufactured in the USA

-multiple layers of inlay and outer glazes are applied to the pieces - this process can take multiple days to allow the layers of glaze to dry - many gallons of glaze is used for this process

- we reload the kiln with glazed pottery and take the pottery up to 2165 degrees F

-after at least 12 hrs the kilns are cool enough to unload- in which we unload , sand the bottoms , sort through the 1st and 2nd quality pottery, stock the shelves and get ready to ship out!
