wood-fired sgraffito oil bottle

12-14ozWood-firing is a process that involves a week or more of work! We spend 2-3 days loading the kiln, and then 4-5 firing it. The kiln has to be stoked 24-7 this whole time so our team works together on around-the-clock 6hr shifts to achieve this. It's a massively work intensive firing process but the results are so worth it. None of these pieces are glazed on the outside, instead the surface effects are created by the atmosphere in the kiln and the way the ash and flame interact with the pots. This leads to some beautiful organic movement that truly cannot be replicated.This piece is handmade with love: wheel-thrown and designed using a process called sgraffito, which involves carving through layers of slip to reveal the clay underneath. Each ball of clay has its own shape, and I try to listen to the form as I’m throwing – so it is rare for any two to end up exactly the same, which means each piece ends up being unique and one of a kind.These pieces feature landscapes, wildflowers
