How it is made here
01
Draw the ridge
Each line copies a ridge someone in the family could once name.
02
Forge by hand
Hammer, anneal, hammer again — never a single cast.
03
Engrave and sign
The maker's mark goes on the back, where only the wearer will find it.
04
Wedge the clay
Ten minutes of wedging removes the air pockets that crack a cup in the kiln.
05
Throw on the wheel
Centre, open, pull. The wall is always a little uneven — that is the signature.
06
Fire at 1240 °C
Wood-ash glaze, one firing. Two weeks later it comes out of the kiln.
