The alchemy of fire: the story of firing in ceramics

The Meeting Between Clay and Fire

There is a moment in the life of every piece of pottery when time and human gestures meet the force of the elements. It is the moment when the clay, still fragile and full of soft marks, enters the kiln and surrenders to the fire.

The Beauty of the Unpredictable

Firing is not just a technical step. It is the alchemy of transformation : the fragile becomes durable, the earth becomes stone, and the glazes come to life.

In the kiln, at high temperatures, the fire paints invisibly on the surface of the clay: sometimes the glaze settles more intensely, other times it leaves fine streaks, like imprints of the fire . The result cannot be completely controlled — and that is precisely where the beauty lies.

A little alchemy brought into your home.

For SIMPLU Ceramics , firing is a ritual of patience and mystery . Each piece emerges from the kiln with its own story, impossible to repeat.

What you hold in your hands is not just a cup or a bowl, but the result of a dance between man, time, and nature . An alchemy that transforms clay into natural beauty, brought into your home.
