What is wood fired pottery?
As the name implies, the fuel source for this type of firing is wood. Temperatures during firing reach a range of 2300-2500ºF, making the clay strong and watertight. The heat, vapors, and ash from the burning wood add color and texture to both the unglazed (raw) clay body and glazed wares. Results are somewhat unpredictable due to the innumerable variables in the wood and the labor of introducing the wood by hand.

How do I care for my purchase?
Wood fired pottery is dishwasher and microwave safe, but are not intended for the range or oven. Pieces can be used in the kitchen for food prep, storage, serving, and eating/drinking. Exercise care when hand washing to avoid breakage.
