TERRACOTTA BEAD GALLERY

Unglazed

We like working with terracotta. It is a simple clay without demands, yet willing to be an active creative partner. Unglazed, we find the beads can be subtle and calming yet because of their unique handmade energy, they are also very powerful and dramatic. Natural primitive beauty.

Each terracotta bead is handmade and unique.  

 Terra Cotta is Italian for "baked earth."  Each bead is hand made.  There are slight variations in size.  The terracotta beads have been low fired to cone 04-06 and are unglazed.      

GLAZED BEAD GALLERY

 

GLAZED BEADS

Keramos glazed beads come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and textures.  We use stoneware, porcelain and terracotta clay to hand make each bead.  After being handmade and bisque fired, each bead receives three to six coats of specialized glazes and is then re-fired to create the stunning effects you see in the picture.
