About the service
I throw ceramic clock faces for wall clocks on a pottery wheel, turning an ordinary clay disc into a unique interior object. Each blank is formed by hand: the disc is trimmed to even thickness, a hole is drilled at the center for the mechanism shaft, and the surface is marked for hour indices before the first firing. Since the shape is created by hand rather than stamped, the piece retains light traces of the potter's wheel, a barely noticeable edge curve, and a unique glaze pattern — this is what makes the object unmistakably handcrafted.
The main part of the work is selecting glaze to match your interior: matte stone finishes in deep tones, speckled surfaces with iron inclusions, bright glossy food-grade ceramics, or an unglazed bisque ring left beside the glazed center. Hour indices can be carved into leather-hard clay, impressed with custom numerals, painted with underglaze, or left minimalist without numbers. On request, I create graphic sgraffito carving, impressions with natural or fabric stamps, two-color glaze transitions from center to edge.
After bisque and glaze firings, I install a quiet quartz mechanism, select brass or matte-black hands to match the glaze, and attach reliable wall mounting on the back so the clock hangs straight and flush against the wall. Before starting, we always agree on diameter, glaze palette, numeral style, and hand color, and at the bisque stage I send photos for approval of the surface before final firing.
Manufacturing usually takes one to two weeks depending on diameter and the number of firings required by the chosen glaze combination. Finished clocks are packed with corner protection in a rigid box for safe delivery. I take both individual orders and small batches for offices, cafes, and gifts, discussing size, color, and mounting method in advance.
