The objects to decorate, such as vases, plates, jars, etc., are made of simple white clay. The clay is coated with coloured glazes, both polished and opaque, but our craftswomen prefer use polished glaze.

Patterns can be original or made to order.
Their glazes are a fine mixture of minerals and clays and it is very important the fully knowledge of the reaction to firing, because, oddly, colours are completely opaque and very different from the final result (see the picture).
Firing is a very delicate phase, the kiln heats up to 960 degrees and, according to the pauses given to the kiln, the temperature comes up and down to keep object and glaze intact.

 

The entire firing lasts 12 hours.
The high temperature and blending of the white base with colours produces a chemical reaction: the vitrification and the ceramics now are bright and shiny.
Isn’t it an excellent outcome?
