Stuart Houghton

CATEGORY: Porcelain
METHOD: Throwing
COLOUR: White
TEXTURE: Very Smooth
FIRING RANGE: 1220°c – 1280°c

Stuart’s pots are hand-thrown in Royale porcelain on an electric potter’s wheel. Once a pot is thrown Stuart refines the shape by turning. Once a pot is completely dry it is bisque fired up to 1000°C. The next stage is to glaze the ware; as well as his neutral colour pallet consisting of pale green (celadon), a white glaze and a very dark, lustrous brown (tenmoku) Stuart has developed a new range of bright colours for 2015. The glaze firing reaches 1280°C making all the pots microwave, oven and dishwasher proof.
