TAIN POTTERY

The Tain Pottery, now firmly established as one of the largest Scottish ceramic manufacturers offers this range of products created by traditional craft technique and skill. The ware has been developed by a team of artisans including two potters who between them have more than 50 years experience creating craft ceramics. The products cover quite diverse methods and techniques, from hand built and thrown through jiggered and jollied to extruded and pressed. The principal clay body used is stoneware first formulated in 1981. It is fired to vitrification at 1280 degrees centigrade, to eliminate porosity and can be used in microwaves, ovens, freezers and dishwashers. The range of glazes used revolve around a tin glaze first concocted in 1978 and then modified to fit the white stoneware body, tried and tested!
