    Pick a clay figure to be your new friend!
    Hand shaped clay figurines from porcelain clay

    Hand forming our clay figurines with porcelain clay

    Each companion is created from a simple piece of clay. This is when I hand shape each individual figurine and use carving tools to make their expression come to life. It requires a lot of precise work as this is the only time I am able to shape them before they are fired.

    The next step is to fire the clay figurines to bisque in the kiln. Inside the kiln, our tiny friends reach a temperature of almost 2000°F (around 1070°C). Sadly, some of the figurines may break in the process but for the ones that made it, they are ready to be painted.

    After they are bisqued (that means fired in a kiln without any glaze), each clay figurine is hand-painted with a colorful new look. It requires very detailed work and patience but this is an important step to reveal the personality of each of our adorable figurine.

    The figurines go into the kiln for their final firing and reach a temperature of around 1800°F (980°C). This will melt the glaze and give the figurines their beautiful shine.

    This is another scary part! The wrong temperature or timing can have a drastic impact on the colors and final result.
