All the pots are thrown on the potters wheel and the full range of domestic ware is produced, the emphasis being on use rather than ornament. The decorating techniques used are sgraffito, incising, and slip trailing and the inspiration for the design of decorations comes from naturally occuring shape and line and from things celtic paying homage to the Welsh connection. The finished stoneware pots are bisque fired and then glazed with feldspathic glazes using iron oxide as the main colouring agent. The pots are then given a further firing in an oxidising atmosphere and are then whole and complete. A smaller range of earthenware pots are made using clear glazes for the kitchen and from oven to table.
Some pots are for the garden and are also made in unglazed earthenware.
The potters also make a selection of reproductions. The Old Smithy Llanrhaeadr, Denbigh, North Wales.
