A Tableware Range Fired at Half the Usual Temperature
A ceramic studio in Stoke cuts its kiln energy without losing strength.
By Jazz Monroe
Earth & Ash's new range is fired at around 600 degrees, half the temperature of conventional stoneware.
The studio spent two years on a clay body that stays dense at the lower heat.
In practice
The plates are slightly thicker than usual, which the studio has chosen to show rather than hide.
Thicker is honest. It tells you how it was made.
