This is a style of pottery that happened on accident the first time our shop dropped below 30*F overnight but we now create purposely whenever we have the correct conditions: frost pottery is pottery that we allow to freeze solid immediately after it is thrown. When there is a prolonged period, we will throw using the one clay that best withstands the still-wet pieces freezing solid. The ice crystals form patterns on and in the wet clay. Though some pieces collapse or develop wide fissures, most survive the defrosting process and retain their unpredictable frost ferns and ice fissures as they dry. Once they are fired for the first time, color can be applied to bring out the details. Each one is extremely one-of-a-kind and we can only make them during certain cold snaps, which may not even occur every year.
*Due to the freezing process, these pieces are inherently more delicate. Handle with care and avoid thermally-shocking this pottery, example: pouring hot liquid into a cold cup or vise versa.
Additional Add-ons: customize yours with a name, etc

Our frostware isn't historical in the least, and is inherently more delicate than all our other pottery. Handle with care and avoid thermally-shocking this pottery, example: pouring hot liquid into a cold cup or vise versa. Have other questions?
