Brown Wave Texture Buttons (small)

These buttons are white stoneware and all made by hand. They are mostly brown, a few hints of blue here and there.
They are sold individually and are $3.50 each.

Buttons measure 3/4" wide by 1" long.



These buttons were made by rolling out the clay and using wooden roller with a carved design to press in the design in the clay. Then, I used a rectangle shaped cutter to cut the shape of the buttons. When the buttons are leather hard, I carefully mark where I want the holes. Then, I use a series of 4 different sizes of hand tools with a drill end to make the holes progressively larger as I go. The buttons are kept flat until they are bone dry. Then, they are bisque fired to cone 04. Finally, they are glazed and fired to cone 6.
