This is a two person operation. We produce about 8000 pots each year with more than half being sold through our shop, The Potters Beechworth. Almost all output is cone 10 stoneware because this gives the customer a reliable product and therefore, us, a relatively low stress country life style. We use the wheel, a slab roller, a hydraulic extruder and a hydraulic press to make a variety of work.
A video covering some aspects of our techniques is available at the shop. It runs for approximately 15 minutes, covering teapot making, slab pot making, glazing and decorating, creature making and large multi-piece jug throwing.
