about the crafting process

Each piece I create for vargasvargas is handcrafted and unique, reflecting my personal taste and aesthetic principles. A poem to the imperfect.
I work both on the pottery wheel and with the hand building technique, experimenting with different clays, tools and glazes.
The specific method of creation for each vargasvargas object is indicated on its product page.
Usually, the process involves various detail-oriented steps, such as throwing or sculpting, trimming, sanding, painting, glazing and of course, two rounds of firing – the first at about 950 °C, and the second at about 1250 °C.
