This item is made with recycled clay, and customized with a speckle added! The amount of speckles vary per batch. The Quartz, Rose Quartz, and Granite are a rich & creamy satin matte, and the Jade is brilliantly glossy. As always, I recommend hand washing and drying, however -upon your own discretion- these items may be placed in the dishwasher with care.

Approximately 12-14oz.

Lovingly made by hand in Vancouver, BC.

Hand wash & dry. Microwave & dishwasher use is not suggested, as machines vary widely. Avoid extreme temperature changes. The silicone lid will relax as you use it. Never tip the cup or use without ensuring the lid is properly applied. To apply the lid, place cup on counter with lid on top. Hold the cup with one hand, and with the other gently press down on the edge of the silicone, securely fastening the lid to the rim and ensuring there are no gaps.

Be cautious with your item, as even a gently knock can cause a hairline fracture causing the pieces to rupture later when the particles expand after pouring hot liquid inside. All pieces are check for strength & durability prior to shipping. To check if you have a hairline fracture, place your item on a counter (no rubber components attached) and flick your finger on the rim of the piece. If it rings, your item is safe! If it creates a dull or clanking sound you likely have a fracture.

This listing is for Firing, and clay used for Open Studios. The Supervisor will go over charges with you upon arrival.

Approximately 7.5” x .75”

Lovingly made by hand in Vancouver, BC.

Useful for popping bubbles like it's hot. Or cutting the rim off after half a glass of wine if you're a lightweight like me.

Tools are dispensed within 1-2 business of placing the order -Tuesday-Friday. Members- they will be left on your shelf. Non-Members will receive an email when your items are ready for pick up, so you may book an appointment.

Polar Ice is super white, super plastic porcelain. It is the whitest clay we offer, and is translucent when thinly thrown // trimmed. When new, it is quite soft and recommend letting it dry out or stiffen up before use as the gums to keep the body together are quick sticky.

Bisque & Glaze Firing Guidelines – Community Clay

Bisque and glaze firing are essential steps in the ceramic process, transforming your raw clay pieces into finished pottery. To ensure a smooth and efficient firing experience, please follow these stacking, handling, and pickup guidelines.

Bisque Firing Guidelines

Bisque firing is the first stage of firing, turning dried clay into durable, porous bisqueware that’s ready for glazing.

Wareboard Allotment & Stacking Guidelines

Each wareboard measures 9" x 18" x 3.5", and you may stack items to maximize space. How you stack items on the wareboard is how they will be fired.

Stacking Best Practices

⚠ Improper stacking may cause cracking, fusing, or distortion. Follow these recommendations to protect your work:

✔ Nesting Safely – Ensure rims do not touch. Items that sit snugly inside another’s rim may fuse together during firing.
✔ Match Item Weight – Avoid placing a heavy piece inside or on top of a thin or delicate one.
✔ Consider Clay Body Differences – Different clay bodies shrink at different rates. Leave extra space between different types of clay.
✔ Mind Dark & Light Clays – Dark clay bodies may mark lighter ones. Keep them separate.
✔ Underglaze Precautions – Underglazes may transfer onto nearby items. We will leave extra space around these pieces to prevent affecting other members' work.

Glaze Firing Guidelines

Glaze-fired items may NOT be stacked, so when planning your firing fees, ensure your pieces are placed next to each other on the wareboard.

Glazing Options

🎨 Glaze Selection: You will choose your glaze color at drop-off. To preview available glaze colors, visit our Instagram.

✔ Underglaze Users: If you've applied underglaze, we will apply a clear glaze to seal your work.
✔ No Glaze Option: If you prefer no glaze, select "Glaze Firing (No Glaze)" when submitting your piece.

Firing Pickup Process

📩 Notification Email: You will receive an email once your pieces have been bisque-fired, along with a booking link to schedule your pickup appointment.

Important Firing Disclaimer

While Community Clay takes the utmost care in handling and firing your work, we cannot guarantee successful outcomes. The final result depends on factors such as:

• Clay composition
• Drying time
• Stacking choices
• Kiln conditions

By following these guidelines, you help create a seamless firing experience for everyone in our ceramics community.

Things to note-

At Community Clay, we take every precaution to ensure your pottery turns out beautifully. However, ceramics is an art of discovery, and certain outcomes can be unpredictable:

• Color Variations: The firing process can alter glaze colors, creating unique effects.
• Any other materials used on items must be pre-approved, we reserve the right to not fire your items if anything but our underglazes are applied. This is to keep our equipment and other people's work safe.
• Learning Process: Pottery is a journey – enjoy the surprises and creativity involved!

We pride ourselves on our experience and careful handling, but we cannot guarantee perfect results. Rest assured, every piece is treated with care and expertise.

*Safety Warning: Tableware producers must test all finished ware to establish dinnerware status, due to possible variations in firing temperature and contamination.
