The Crafting Process: Each piece begins with liquid earthenware slip poured into a vintage plaster mold. After sitting for about 20 minutes, the excess slip is poured out, and the mold must rest until the next day before it can be opened. This waiting period ensures the clay is firm enough to release cleanly without warping. Because the mold needs time to dry out between pours, we can only use each one once a day. Once removed, the piece is carefully trimmed by hand — a slow and detailed process that requires patience and precision. After drying completely, it is bisque fired, then thoughtfully hand-painted with underglazes. It returns to the kiln for a glaze firing, where it transforms into a vibrant, durable, and silky-smooth ceramic figure. If adorned with luster or gold accents, it undergoes a third firing to achieve its shimmering finish.
