Each Coco Flamingo creation is meticulously crafted by my own two hands, ensuring a unique and heartfelt touch. Please know due to the handmade nature of pottery there may be variations in size, colour & shape. Let me take you through the labor of love that goes into bringing these creations to life.

It all begins with preparing the clay through wedging and careful measurement. As my launch collection is wheel-thrown, I swiftly move to the wheel for shaping. After a few days of drying, I return to the wheel for final touch-ups. Patience is key as the pieces then dry for 1-2 weeks. The next step involves a bisque firing in the kiln, lasting approximately 24 hours. Once the kiln cools down, each item is painstakingly sanded. I then personally apply glaze using a variety of techniques, including dipping and intricate hand painting. The final firing, lasting around 24 hours, takes place before meticulously sanding the bottoms for a smooth touch. Finally, the items are expertly photographed and made available for purchase.

This entire process requires dedication and typically spans 4-5 weeks, ensuring each Coco Flamingo creation is a testament to artistry and devotion.
