Read on to get some expert pointers on how to solve five of the most common pottery glaze defects (such as crawling, shown at above). So just in case glaze defects are driving you “craze-y” (sorry, I just couldn’t resist), I thought I would share this excerpt from the late Robin Hopper's book, The Ceramic Spectrum. But, of course, there are some cases in which a glaze must be perfect for reasons of safety or hygiene. Many ceramic artists deliberately create faults in their glaze surfaces to achieve a particular aesthetic. It is especially true in the ceramics world that one person’s fault is another person’s fancy–especially when it comes to glaze defects.


Our handmade tiles have their own story, from starting life in the ceramics studio with a lump of clay and a team of makers, to the anxious peeking inside a cooling kiln to reveal the perfect pink tone that we prayed would be the outcome.

The collection of interesting items that are dotted about on every possible surface, really makes me want to know what story lies behind them. I really enjoy the vibrancy in this kitchen and the attention to detail to create a space that allows the natural light to pour in.
