DAVID ALEXANDER

David is a local potter from near Castle Douglas. David produces a range of slip-decorated ovenproof dishes and bowls which are versatile and a pleasure to use.

David also makes individual dishes and pots, hand built using a variety of techniques; all in teracotta earthenware.


Karen Edwards

Creates ceramicware using the ‘RAKU’ or post-firing process, based on the technique developed by the ancient Raku masters of Japan and used in the "Tea Ceremony". The process creates unique crackled glaze effects. Ceramics are removed at 1,000 c from the kiln, then buried in combustible materials like straw and sawdust. Each piece is therefore totally unique.

Due to the firing process Raku work is porous and not as strong as conventionally fired pottery and should not be used for food or liquid.
