TERRA CONE 8 · 1260° · GLAZED ONCE, NEVER TWICE Order samplesSamples
Hands centring clay on the wheel, the kiln still to come
Ceramic tile · hand-pressed · fired to cone 8

Clay remembers fire.

Every tile keeps the record of its kiln

One clay · six glazes · no two tiles alike Fired Thursdays, opened Mondays
The credo

A tile is a piece of the earth that went through 1260 degrees and came out with an opinion. The glaze is just the memory, made visible.

The wall, laid

Sixty-four tiles. Sixty-four glazes.

Same bucket, same kiln, same shelf — and every one comes out its own shade. That variation is the point, not the flaw.

On glaze, briefly

Glaze is glass that agreed

to stay on the clay.

Where it pools, the fire was thinking.

Speckled stoneware, the glaze line showing where the dip stopped
The studio

One clay, one kiln, six ash glazes.

Stoneware from a quarry forty minutes away, pressed by hand into oak moulds, dipped once in a glaze made from the ash of last winter's wood. Then Thursday, then the kiln, then Monday morning when we open the door and find out what the fire decided.
