Our Materials
Rayn approaches pottery making with a highly methodical mind. To make each Ceramication piece, he uses premium-grade materials sourced from all over the world. The materials are mixed to form liquified clay called slip.
‘Safety is the most basic form of human rights’
Having total control over his materials allows Rayn the confidence to market his products as lead free, food safe and socially responsible.
Clay – New Zealand Halloysite. This halloysite is rare, dear and the purest in the world. Mined from Matauri Bay in the north island of New Zealand, it is selected for its extremely low iron and titanium contents, which give its whiteness and translucence. Its tubular structure also makes it ideal for the slipcasting technique.
Flux – Canadian Nepheline Syenite. It is selected for its lower melting point in comparison with traditional feldspar, which allows maturation of the clay body at lower temperatures. This minimizes Ceramication’s carbon footprint via reduced electricity usage and rate of equipment wear.
