HOW CERAMICS ARE MADE
1. CLAY BODY IS FORMED
A potter can form his product in many ways. Two main ways are wheel throwing or hand building.
2. DRYING – 7-10 days. Clay must be left to completely dry before going into the kiln. If there is moisture left in the clay it may explode in the kiln. The clay shrinks as it dries.
3. SANDING – final finishing touches before firing
4. BISQUE FIRING- 36 hours. Ceramic pottery pieces are put in the kiln for the 1st firing. This is when the clay is turned into a stone. The kiln takes between 15-20 hours to reach about 1000 C . It takes about 24 hours to cool.
5. GLAZING – Glaze can be applied in many ways, poured on, sponged on, painted on, dipped, and sprayed.
6. FIRING- 24 hours. The pottery pieces go in the kiln for their last firing. This time the kiln temperature reaches about 1250 C. The glaze turns into a glass like coating and becomes one with the ceramic piece.

Full description
Fill the steaming chamber with warmed stock, beer, wine, herbed water, apple juice, whatever liquid you prefer.
Plonk a 3--4.5lb chicken over the centre cup as in the picture.
Rub a bit of olive oil or butter over the skin and bake uncovered for about 90 mins at 180 C.
The liquid in the cup will steam the chicken from the inside and the skin will turn out deliciously crisp.
I threw this dish on my pottery wheel using strong white stoneware clay and finished it in a lovely dark aquamarine reactive glaze.
Dimensions--10cm high when closed and 22cm across.
Weight 1350gm.
Oven, dishwasher and microwave safe.
Items will be well packed--I'd hate any to get broken on the way.
I am happy to combine shipping nd of course I will post anywhere--just contact me for prices.
Thanks for looking.
