For 50 years they have been perfecting their beautiful craft.
Starting originally with terra cotta garden pots they turned to domestic pottery using majolica techniques with blue designs painted onto a white opaque glaze.
Their latest work sees them dispensing with the potter's wheel and making hand-built vessels, often decorated with geometric patterns.
To put these patterns onto a 3D surface they must be outlined in soft pencil and then completed with black stain to create the complex designs. The vessel then has a second firing followed by a wax polish.
The vessels are individual and each one takes hundreds of hours to complete. The process results in objects of spectacular beauty.
