DIMENSIONS This ceramic reusable coffee cup holds approximately 300ml Height: 12cm Width: 8cm Please note: Sizes and colours may vary slightly from the image due to the handmade process. HOW IT IS MADE Every ceramic piece is hand-thrown on my potter’s wheel in my home studio in Wiltshire. It starts as a simple ball of clay, which I shape by hand on the wheel. The next day, I carefully trim your handmade ceramic and allow it to dry slowly for about a week. Once dry, your item is bisque-fired at 1000 degrees, transforming it into strong bisque ware and left to cool. I create all my own glazes from dry ingredients, blending unique colours exclusive to Libby Ballard ceramics. When the bisque firing is complete, I apply these glazes by hand, either by dipping your piece or pouring the glaze, before wiping the base clean. Your ceramic is then fired again at 1260 degrees for its final firing, transforming it into durable stoneware. Once it’s cooled, I unload your handmade ceramic piece from the kiln, give it a quick quality check, and it’s ready to be packaged. To ensure a safe delivery, I wrap your handmade pottery in paper bubble wrap and tissue paper, and pop it in an eco-friendly box protected with corn-starch loose fill. I always try to keep packaging minimal and sustainable, while making sure your ceramics arrive at their new home (i.e. your home) in one piece!
