Crafting Uniqueness: Agus Garrigou's Handmade Pottery and Expressive Glazes

Agus Garrigou makes her pieces all by hand and using the potter´s wheel, as a way to mark uniqueness and make a personal stamp at each product. She first starts throwing and trimming the pieces in the wheel, then sculpt and attach handles and leave them to dry before the bisq firing for two days. Then is the moment to glaze the pieces, and here is where she applies the glazes that she spent many years investigating, to make textures that are expressive and raw in bright and organic colours. The glaze firing takes two days and reaches 1240ºC.

You might wonder...

Do the texture in the glaze is rough on the skin, and scratches?

No, we treat the surface post firing so as to be smooth to the touch, but still look crackled.

Do you offer personalization?

Yes! Just ask TA-DAAN via email, and we´ll let you know the possibilities.

Do I need to have special care to handle this pieces?

Not really, it is super resistant stoneware. That means it will probably brake if you drop it, but except for that is pretty resistant to any manipulation and typical use.
