From Sketch to Sculpture: The Art of Claytical Ceramics
Tanja starts all of her production processes with sketching and designing the idea for the product that will then be put into life through clay. She tends to spend a lot of time on research before even touching the physical material. Once the idea is fixed and steps are thoroughly planned she goes through numerous trials and errors to get to the final prototype and product testing.
All Claytical Ceramics pieces are handmade with careful and precise attention to detail. The process of 1-3 hrs work includes hand modelling or slip casting, drying, sanding, bisque firing at 980 °C, glazing, and glaze firing. It takes up to a month for a piece to be developed from the initial idea to the final product, and two weeks for a final piece to be modelled and packed for shipping.
