Made to adorn your home all year round our decorations are intended to make you smile.
From the purely decorative heart series, to the phrases on our angels. Hang them up for Easter, birthdays, Christmas or just because its Tuesday. They can express how you feel or you can let someone know you think they are quite unusually brilliant, or a genius of ginormous proportions.
All are made from porcelain so that the finish pieces becomes almost translucent. Whilst producing a exquisite finish, porcelain is one of the most difficult clays to work with, not tolerating any mistakes in making. Not all decorations survive the 3 firings they are put them through. There is still a joy from opening the kiln (oven for cooking clay) and discovering what treasures are inside.
The hearts are decorated with blue, red and white glazes before their final lustre firing which produces the metallic finish. Whilst the angels undergo a third firing to melt the text onto the glaze.
When they are unpacked from the kiln I thread them all with gold or silver threads adding glass bead pearls to the hearts and then they are finished and packed into there gift boxes.
