Seth's pots
 |
The
pottery produced at Wenford Bridge begins as a unique stoneware clay body
which is a mixture of three different local clays. The mixture is ball milled
and dried in open air troughs before being pug milled and hand kneaded to
exacting consistency. The glazes are also mixed and ball milled on site.
They were developed specifically for use with the Wenford clay body by Michael
Cardew over half a century ago and his recipes are followed as precisely
today as they have been through the years. Each piece of pottery offered
for sale on line has been personally thrown and hand decorated by Seth Cardew.
It has been wood fired in the huge circular down draft kiln to a temperature
of 1300 degrees Centigrade. The kiln is allowed to cool for three days before
being opened to give forth its treasures. Any piece of ceramics you might
choose will be truly one of its kind and will be permanently stamped with
both Wenford Bridge Pottery and Seth Cardew seals and accompanied by a signed
certificate of authenticity. |
