THE CRUMPLED POTTER
Crafting Beauty with Clay
Welcome to Crumpled Potter. I make simple, useful pieces for everyday living - jugs, bowls, candlesticks and other things that bring a bit of calm and beauty to a table or shelf.
The works happens slowly here in West Sussex, speed is the enemy of ceramics with time required for making, trimming, drying, firing, glazing and firing again. Rushing any part of the process can be costly and patience is necessary skill to master.
THE MAKING PROCESS
The Art of Making
STEP 1
SHAPE
Clay is hand-formed or wheel-thrown into its desired design.
STEP 2
REFINE
Each piece is trimmed, detailed, and left to dry.
STEP 3
BISQUE FIRE
The dried clay is kiln-fired to strengthen and prepare it for glazing.
STEP 4
GLAZE & FIRE
Glaze is applied before a final firing, creating a durable, finished piece.
