Colophon
The potters, writers, and researchers who make this magazine — and the benches, buckets, and kilns they work beside.
Glaze research
Priya runs a glaze library of six hundred test tiles in Bangalore. Her research focuses on local ash, fieldspathic bases, and the slow accumulation of reliable recipes.
Sgraffito and surface decoration
A ceramicist from Valencia, Tomas decorates leather-hard pots with a restrained vocabulary of line and seed pod. He teaches sgraffito workshops across southern Europe.
Throwing and kiln practice
A studio potter working in Bergen, Mara throws production tableware in the mornings and fires her own gas kiln to dusk. She writes about speed, discipline, and the patience of fire.
Glaze history and criticism
Jonas is editor at large for Kiln Review, based in Stoke-on-Trent. He writes on celadon, ash glazes, and the lives of pots after they leave the studio.
Kiln building and firing
Noah builds and repairs kilns in Portland, Oregon, from small test kilns to two-chamber gas monsters. He believes every firing is a conversation with the fire.
Materials chemistry
Ada is a material chemist in Stockholm who consults for studio potters on glaze formulation, kiln atmospheres, and the temperament of oxides.
Handbuilding and studio portraiture
Elena is a writer based in London who has spent twenty years visiting potters' studios, taking notes on workbenches, ledgers, and the quiet rituals that keep a practice alive.
