At Beanywog we have two forms of finishing in terms of how and when its applied

 

 

Sgrafito one process is to apply a pigmented clay to a peice that hasn't been fired then draw and scratch it off to reveal the clay underneath. In Italy it was very popular on buildings during the renaissance

 

 

Standard glazing- AFTER A PEICE HAS BEEN FIRED ONCE, Liquid glass and pigment is applied and fired again. We use food safe and lead free glazes and we use our own pots every day. We use an eathenware low fire clay, it's not as durable as the stoneware that is fired at higher temperatures. SO you must be careful with Beanywog pots or use them to just look at and enjoy.
