We crush our own off-cuts, fold the chips back into wet clay and let the kiln decide the rest. No two pieces carry the same constellation.
How a Loam piece happens
Every cracked bowl and trimmed foot is dried, hammered and sieved into chips: clay red, sage, oat and bone.
Chips are wedged into a cream stoneware body by hand, then thrown or slab-built while the mix is still arguing.
After the bisque we grind the surface back with wet stone until the chips open like cut fruit, then glaze clear.
The autumn shelf
Dishwasher-patient, oven-brave, and heavier than they look. Basket: 0 pieces.
“A chip is just a pot that got a second chance to be looked at.”Ines Calloway-Reyd, founder & chief sweeper
