BODY & GLAZE PREPARATION
As a manufacturer, we are proud to produce high-quality ceramics with unique body and glaze recipes. Our team of skilled experts has formulated a proprietary blend consisting of four essential components: feldspar, quartz, kaolin, and free alumina. Each ingredient is milled to a specific consistency and carefully combined to create the perfect recipe for our ceramics. This secret formula is a testament to our commitment to excellence.
Once our unique blend is prepared, we subject it to a magnetic process to eliminate any free iron particles that may be present. These iron particles are collected for use in other applications. The resulting mixture is then utilized in various forms depending on the intended purpose. It is transformed into dry granules for Iso pressing, shaped into wet clay rolls for creating cups and mugs with a wheel-turning method or converted into a liquid slurry for high-pressure and manual casting.
