TOMORROW, March 12 2026 at Ceramic Kingdom:
Workshop, Artist Talk, Opening.
Join us for a special evening with our current resident artist.
Tim Martin is a London-based sculptor working with hand-built clay slabs to create minimalist, graphic sculptures. His work plays with contrasts, brutalist and elegant forms, raw clay surfaces, slip glazes and metallic oxides.

❕At 5PM, Tim will host a 2-hour handbuilding workshop in our studio, demonstrating his process from rolling slabs and working with templates to building hollow forms. Everyone is welcome to join and all pieces can be taken home.

❕After the workshop, Tim will give an artist talk, sharing insights into his sculptural practice and recent work.
We can’t wait to open the window exhibition and spend the evening together with clay, conversation and community.

JOIN US!

Glaze chemistry: the science behind ceramic surfaces.
A ceramic glaze might look simple, but behind every color, texture, and finish lies a complex chemical interaction. Glazes are essentially glass that melts and bonds with the clay surface during firing.
By combining ingredients such as silica, fluxes, and alumina, ceramic artists can influence how a glaze melts, moves, and solidifies. Small changes in composition can lead to completely different results. From glossy and transparent to matte, crystalline, or textured surfaces.
Understanding glaze chemistry opens the door to more intentional experimentation and control in ceramics.

Raku is a special firing technique where pieces are removed from the kiln while still glowing hot.
The thermal shock, open air, and post-firing reduction create unique surface effects that can’t be fully controlled.

The glazes used in Raku react differently than in regular firings, metallic cracks, smoky surfaces, deep and unexpected color shifts are all part of the process.

During reduction, the hot piece is placed into a container with combustible material. The fire consumes the oxygen, changing the glaze and clay body in dramatic and often surprising ways.

This particular vase by Luis embraces exactly that: the Beauty of unpredictability. Each piece is truly one of a kind.

Have you ever experienced a Raku firing?

Some cool bisque ware pieces fresh from the shelves ✨
If you spot your work, let us know so we can tag you!

Latest finds on the CK bisque shelf are always so inspiring.
You can see so many different ways of working with clay here: wheel throwing, handbuilding, slip casted pieces, nerikomi/neriage, experimenting with surfaces and textures.

Little side note: we offer courses covering all these different methods.
Take a look at our linktree in bio to explore more 🤍

our working artist is currently creating handbuilt vessels. Built without the wheel, the piece is shaped slowly and intuitively by hand, allowing for organic forms and subtle surface details. We already love the raw stage and are curious to see how the glaze will transform the final result.

You probably know these towers by now, right? .pasewald one of our teachers and the creative mind behind these ingenious drying constructions for plates, is back in full plate production.

We loooove it! 💙💛🧡🩷❤️

Ever saw these in the studio?
These are firing cones. They help us understand what’s really happening inside the kiln.
Cones don’t just measure temperature, they show heatwork, meaning the combined effect of temperature and time.
When a cone bends, we know the kiln has reached the right conditions for the clay and glaze
