All pottery is made by hand in Orinda, a small town nestled in the hills of the East Bay Area outside of San Francisco, California.

Question 4

What type of clay, glaze, and kiln do you use?"

Accepted Answer

I use several clay bodies that I purchase from a local clay distributor. One is an off-white clay, one is a dark bodied clay, and one is a buff colored clay. I fire all work in my Cress electric kiln, to Cone 6, which is about 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. I make my own glazes. To see my adventures in glaze making, follow me on Instagram @kecpotter.
