From the Pottery to your Home - Ceramic Stars
Just to give you a little insight into their making... Your Christmas tree ornament is made with much love. Ceramics takes a long time to make. Your ornament is handmade from a slab of clay, dried, then carved & decorated. It then gets fired in my kiln at 1945 degrees. After it comes out of the kiln I glaze it with my own home-made glazes and then it gets it’s second fire in an even hotter kiln – 2167 degrees! That takes about 8 hours to fire and another 12 hours to cool down before I can open the kiln. I then paint on 22K gold (real gold!) and it needs to get back in the kiln for a third time! After it gets checked over, I attach a gold cord for hanging. With a little care your Christmas ornament will last for many, many Christmases!
