Process

Six weeks,
four stages.

Nothing is cast or moulded. Each piece is thrown, trimmed and glazed by hand, then left to the kiln.

  2. Close detail of a bowl's inside wall, stamped with small flower marks in white slip.
    Detail — stamped slip inlay
    02

    Throw & trim

    Thrown on the wheel, dried to leather-hard, then trimmed and marked by hand.

  3. Close detail of pale slip splashed across a dark brown glaze.

    Glaze

    Glazes mixed in the studio from raw materials — dipped, poured, or splashed.

    Fire

    Bisque, then a long glaze firing. What comes out of the kiln is never quite what went in.

About the studio

“I want the pot to show how it was made.”

Artist Name trained as a production potter before opening Studio Name in Dubai in 2019. The studio is one wheel, one gas kiln and a long table — and, twice a year, a borrowed wood kiln in the mountains.

The work is functional first: bowls meant for tea, jars meant for keeping things. The marks of the hand, the drips and the kiln accidents are left in on purpose.
