The process starts by weighing out the clay to just the right quantity. The clay is then knead to get all the air out of the clay before turning it. Once the clay has been located on the turning wheel the clay is drawn up and pushed back down to get the plasticity right and work the clay before finally turning it up into the desired shape. The turned piece is left to dry to a leather hard state and is then worked on to shave the piece to the final form carefully measuring to get each of the lamps to be as close as possible to the same size. Naturally every piece is unique but Justin works to create a high degree of consistency. The next step involves adding the glaze to the body of the lamps and engobe colour to the rim on a wheel for firing. The Kamin combines accuracy with a beautiful organic finish and texture.
