Stoneware clay, patient drying, and kiln schedules dated on the shelf—each bowl

Clay studio

Tableware thrown and fired until glaze and foot feel ready to use

  • Everyday bowls
  • Dinner plates
  • Kiln batches

Stoneware clay, patient drying, and kiln schedules dated on the shelf—each bowl leaves with a foot that sits flat and a glaze note on the card.

Named pieces

Recent work from the bench — each piece is titled so you can reference it when you book.

How a commission moves

Numbered studio verbs from first measure to handoff.

Hands working through the wedge step

01. Wedge

Clay is wedged and weighed for the form you chose.

02. Throw

Bowls and plates are thrown; walls are checked for even thickness.

03. Bisque

Bone-dry ware bisque-fires before glaze goes on.

04. Glaze fire

Glazed pieces fire on a dated kiln schedule; warped feet are remade, not sold.

Portrait from a studio visit
“The sage bowl stack still feels handmade without wobbling on the table.”

Inside the studio

Sageport Clay is a Brno tableware bench where kiln dates rule the calendar and dinnerware leaves only when feet sit true.

Tools stay on labeled shelves; unfinished pieces hang or cure where light is steady. Visits are by appointment so the bench stays clear for active work.

Common questions

How long for a custom set?

Most four-piece sets need three to four weeks including drying and two firings.

Can I pick glaze samples?

Yes—test tiles live on the shelf; we will not rush a wet glaze.

Do you ship fragile ware?

Local pickup is preferred; we pack with double boxes when courier is required.

Materials and pacing

Clients often arrive with a plate stack photo and a question about glaze. We answer with test tiles on the shelf first, then a kiln date that respects drying time.

The wedging board stays dusty on purpose—you can feel clay stiffness before we weigh pieces for a set.

We write down foot style, glaze code, and what we refused—warped plates after glaze fire sold as-is, or rushed leather-hard trimming that collapses a rim.

Appointments are paced so wet work and glaze days do not collide. If a slot is full, we offer the next open weekend rather than crowding the kiln shelves.

Care cards note dishwasher caution for certain glazes and how to store bowls so feet do not chip on stone counters.

Kitchen light shifts how speckles read. Bring a daytime counter photo when you can; warm evening bulbs can push cream glazes that look dull at noon.

We do not promise awards or viral place settings. We promise dated firings, flat feet, and a reply when your message lands in the booking form.

If you are gifting a set, tell us the handoff date early. Packing and tissue wraps wait until the last kiln cool-down, not before glaze is mature.
