Hand Crafted Pottery: What does this mean? It means that each piece of pottery has been uniquely crafted by hand. No two pieces of pottery will be exactly alike. As soon as hands touch clay the body of clay is changed forever.
There will always be differences even with slip casting. Some times the idea of slip casting is categorized as not being “Hand Crafted” this is not true for Almost Dirt® pottery. When I slip cast to replicate a model or design each piece is finished by hand. Each piece is carved, or reshaped one way or the other, and then painted.
Painting or glazing as its called in the world of ceramic art, also creates unique qualities and textures. Lending to the idea of “Hand Crafted”.
