The Ceramics Making Journey:
(Explore our shop for more insights into the ceramics-making process.)
FIRING: The Crucible of Transformation 🔥
The firing stage is where the alchemy unfolds, as clay metamorphoses from its humble, pliable origins into the enduring material we know as ceramic. Robust, formidable, and reminiscent of stone, ceramics owe their longevity to the dance between clay and fire, a partnership that has withstood the test of time.
Bisque Firing: The First Baptism by Fire 🔥
Bisque firing marks the initial confrontation with intense heat, a vital step in vitrifying the clay just enough to withstand the forthcoming glazing process. This delicate balance ensures that the pots are primed for the application of glazes without sacrificing their individual integrity.
Glaze Firing: A Symphony of Colors and Textures 🎨
After the application of glazes to the bisqueware, the delicate loading into the kiln begins. Precision is paramount, as pots must not touch; the risk of glazes melding together and fusing the pots is ever-present. The kiln embarks on a gradual ascent to the perfect temperature, coaxing the clay and glazes to maturity. The final result is a harmonious fusion that occurs on a molecular level, a testament to the meticulous artistry of the process.
Culmination: The Unveiling 🎁
Only after the kiln has completed its artistic choreography, heating and cooling in deliberate cadence, is the moment of revelation. The kiln's doors open, and the transformed ceramic wonders are delicately unloaded, revealing the culmination of the firing process—a testament to the delicate dance between art and science.
Embark on this journey with us, where each piece tells a story of resilience, transformation, and the enduring beauty of ceramics. Explore our shop for an immersive experience into the heart of this ancient craft.

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.
INFORMATION I COLLECT
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.
WHY I NEED YOU INFORMATION AND HOW I USE IT
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I generally keep your data for up to four years.
TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
YOUR RIGHTS
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.

• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
