Description

This large yarn bowl was hand thrown on my potter’s wheel using strong stoneware clay. A spiral to thread your wool through was carved out before the bowl dried. Glazed in a deep red speckle glaze and finished with a blue green reactive glaze on the rim which melts down the sides during the kiln firing.

A yarn bowl stops your wool from rolling over the floor as you knit. A must have for any knitter or crocheter.

Height: 110mm
Diameter at top rim: 164mm (at top rim)

The ball of wool pictured is a 50g ball of double knit (not included), there is ample extra room for larger balls of wool.

All of my handmade ceramics will be well packaged prior to shipping, I’d hate for anything to get damaged in the mail. Happy to combine shipping, post worldwide and all of my items are made and ready for immediate dispatch.

How It’s Made

By Hand.

All of my work is handmade, predominetly on a potter’s wheel. Once the clay has been prapared the ball is transfered onto the wheel where the form is pulled. Once made, the peice is left to dry slightly overnight to a leather hard consistency before hopping right back onto the wheel to be trimmed with turning tools to remove any excess clay and refine the shape.

Once the clay has fully dried out after a week or two it goes into the kiln for the first firing – the bisque – where it will be slowly heated to 1030ยฐc. The piece is then ready to glaze. Glaze is a slurry of different clays, chemicals and metal oxides which melt in the second kiln firing to create a glass-like surface, the metal oxides creating the colours. During this final firing the kiln will reach 1220ยฐc.
