Stoneware is a durable, high-fired ceramic with a natural, tactile texture that feels grounded and organic. The grog—small, pre-fired clay particles—enhances the clay’s durability and reduces shrinkage during firing, making it ideal for hand-building and sculptural work. It gives the surface a subtle, earthy texture that adds depth and a natural feel to each finished piece.
