Each piece of Doug's pottery is crafted using Alberta clay. The pieces are all hand formed and fired in a gas kiln twice. The first firing, a bisque, prepares the clay form for glazing with earthen materials and metal oxides. The second firing fuses the clay and glaze materials at a 2400 F degree temperature, into its finished form. All pieces are lead-free, oven proof and dishwasher safe. Doug's scenic designs on his pottery depict the mountains and trees of the Alberta Rockies.
