1 THE FORMING
The manufacture of our decorated earthenware starts with the turning of the wheel In fact a mass of clay is put in the middle of the wheel and is mould it manually to achieve the desired shape.
2 DRYNG PROCESS
After the forming, the handmade clay objects need to dry out completely in open air. A perfect dryng process garantees the durability of the objects and above all the consistency of its shape.
3 FIRST FIRING
Once the objects are perfectly dried, they are placed in the kiln. The first firing lasts approximately twelve hours, and brings the objects to a temperature of 980 degrees centigrade. There then follows a gradual cooling process that takes place naturally through heat dissipation. So to obtain the simplest ceramic product: the earthenware (or biscuit).
4 GLAZING
The earthenware is then subjected to glazing that can be done manually, putting the product into a liquid enamel solution or, otherwise, by an airbrush that spays the glaze onto the object.
5 DECORATION
Each processing technique of our earthenware is rigorously carried out by hand. Our decorators, relyng on forms and motifs recurring in nature and on landscape, artfully mixing differ colours, succeed in producing such precise and attractive objects that each one could be considered as a little work of art.
6 SECOND FIRING
After the glazing and the decorations, the product is placed in the kiln for the second time to ensure a perfect fixing of the enamel. The second firing is done between a temperature of 850 to 970 degrees centigrade.
