Understanding Ceramics
Ceramics-making involves a step-by-step process that takes skill, patience, and artistry to achieve the desired masterpiece. At Table Matters, every dining ware is carefully crafted using these building techniques.
Clay Processing
Removing clay from the pallet and running it through the pug mill is the first step. This process gets rid of the air in clay and gives the right consistency and density needed to create dinnerware. Scrap clay is mixed to the new batch continually to reduce wastage. The clay is then run through the slab roller, then cut in discs by hand. These are stacked and covered, then moved to the next step.
Jiggering
The slab of clay is then placed on a wheel with custom molding. As the wheel spins, the pressure is applied by the jigger operator through a blade that cuts excess clay away. The dining ware is sponged for a quick finish and then dried for 30 minutes to one hour. Then, the piece is flipped to a wooden board.
Trimming
As soon as the ware feels stiff but slightly flexible, the rim is trimmed on the wheel to give it a smooth edge. This process renders the durability of the piece.
Bisque Firing and Glazing
Around 12-14 hours after trimming, the ware is subjected to a starting bisque fire of about 1850F. As it cools, the ware is then stamped and glazed by hand spraying. The glaze is measured for density and thickness repeatedly to apply the precise amount on the material.
Finishing and Firing
After glazing, a wet sponge is then used to wipe the rip to ensure that the polished edge is remarkable.
The finished product is put in a kiln and fired up to 2,200F. By the time work commences the next morning, the kiln is cooled down, and the wares are ready to be taken out.
