Thatched Cottages

These tiny Manx thatched cottages are made by hand on the potters wheel. 

Thrown in a large open circle and then divided into individual cottages with

their own little personalities. The cottages are made using speckled, white or

 raku clay. An iron oxide wash is applied to the roof to enhance the thatch

effect which is created on the wheel using clay slip. Finally they are white

 washed with glaze before firing to 1260c.
