Made by Serif

The stoneware pots are biscuit fired and then glazed. Iron and cobalt oxides are the main colours used. There is exciting variation in each firing and between each pot, this is natural when using hand made wood ash glazes.

 

Earthenware pots are mainly glazed with clear, honey glaze.

 

We make a limited edition range of salt glazed pots.

 

Please contact us for commemorative or special pieces you might like us to make for you.

Our pots are glazed in an oxidising atmosphere in an electric kiln.

Each pot is handmade from either stoneware or grogged earthenware clays.  

 

All the pots are thrown on the potter’s wheel and a full range of domestic ware is produced.

The inspiration for design comes from naturally occurring shapes and lines often from Celtic designs.
