The journey for every Pigeon Toe piece from a lump of clay to finished work is about three weeks. Without the use of moulds, each piece must be formed individually on the wheel and nursed to its completed state. Porcelain,  the finicky clay body that it is, provides no shortage of challenges and obstacles. To learn more about our studio process, view our image gallery below. You’ll notice I’m a lefty, so my wheel spins the opposite direction of most, to the occasional chagrin of my production artists who get briefly discombobulated when I forgot to switch it back to counter-clockwise.
