CornishHillPottery

Cornish Hill Pottery is located in the historic village of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.

Here I make hand crafted functional stoneware, decorated in the traditions of Early American and European potters with a method known as 'slip trailing'. The slip is a creamy mixture of clay and water which is applied to moist or 'leather hard' pots by brush and by extrusion through a fine nozzle on a hand held squeeze bottle. The slips contain various colorants, including natural clay colors and metals such as cobalt.

Each piece of Cornish Hill Pottery is hand thown and decorated by Gogi Millner. The pots are bisque fired to remove the chemically combined water and to oxidize organic impurities. Then the pots are glazed and glaze trail decorated. Next follows a firing to approximately 2350 °F in which the glaze is melted to a glass and the clay body becomes vitrified.

The pottery is oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe. As with any ceramic piece, take care to avoid extreme and abrupt temperature changes. I use no lead or other harmful glaze materials.
