How they're made
Lumps of Clay
All of my sculptures start as lumps of clay.
The critters are created using the pinch pot technique to make sure they're hollow.
There's lots of stages of shaping, refining and smoothing for each individual.
Bisque Firing
When I’m happy with them I carefully load the kiln – which I like to pre-heat for a few hours just to make sure there’s no moisture left in the clay that might cause any explosions.
The temperature will then steadily rise to about 1050°C then left to cool for about 24 hours before I can empty it.
Underglazing
Once cooled they each need to be wiped down to remove any surface salts. Then it's time to add the underglaze colours - each colour needs 3 coats painted on by hand.
Glazing
They’re then left another 24 hours before having a clear glaze applied on top – again another 3 layers.
Glaze Firing
Then once they’re dry, I’ll clear any glaze from underneath to help stop them sticking to the kiln shelf .
I’ll score around their eyes and then it’s back into the kiln for the glaze firing. This time the temperature reaches about 1245°C
