Alexandria · eastern harbour · est. 2014
Clay that
remembers
the tide.
A one-room kiln on the Corniche. We throw stoneware that keeps a little salt in the glaze — bowls, lamps, and tiles for rooms that face the water.
01 · The kiln
Fired after the evening catch comes in.
We wait for the harbour to quiet, then raise the temperature in two long climbs. The glaze is a local feldspar mixed with a pinch of beach glass. No two rims come out the same colour.
- Clay body Egyptian stoneware, 1,220 °C
- Glaze Feldspar, wood ash, beach glass
- Firing Reduction, twice a month
02 · Harbour shop
