Pictured, are the three main elements of the process that takes a lump of clay through to a finished pot. Formed on the wheel, glazed in the spray booth, and finally, fired in the kiln. But the process is more than that. It starts the first time you sit at a potters wheel with that lump of clay. It's a connection with, and a feel for the clay. You need a teacher that can guide you through the frustrations and disappointments, getting you to the point where you develop some skill and your own technique. I had Terrie MacDonald do that for me and am forever grateful. Thanks also to Pamela Bailey-Brown for her teachings and for sharing her wisdom. So it's a long process and doesn't end when you take the finished pot out of the kiln. To me the process ends when someone actually wants what you made. That makes pottery a win-win endeavour. I get the joy of making the pot, and the joy and satisfaction from someone putting it to use.

Our pottery has always been wonderfully functional; with a few frivolous pieces, too.But we wanted more than superb design and function. We wanted a celebration of colour and at the same time have each piece instantly recognizable as a Bailey-Brown.So - we experimented. From 1980 to 1986. Taking detailed notes as we tried countless combinations of glazes and stains, fired slowly to ensure the deepest saturation of colour. And then, one morning, we opened our kiln, peered in at our latest experiment, and smiled. With 23 ingredients, applied in 6 separate glazes and stains, we'd finally achieved the look we wanted. A look with enduring appeal.Joy and love are crafted in each item that comes from Bailey Brown Pottery. For over twenty five years we have lived and worked on the Moneymore Road in Roslin, Ontario Canada.The Internet is the new marketplace but the studio, kiln and wheel remain the same.Pam & JephBailey Brown Pottery 2009 - 2014 ~ 1069 Moneymore Rd, RR1 Roslin, ON, Canada K0K 2Y0 ~Last updated January 201
