Duck Ceramics is an independent pottery studio based in Brighton and run by maker, Alice Duck. Alice uses the technique of slip casting and has designed her moulds to split into multiple pieces, allowing her to combine different coloured porcelain clays to define the shape of the pot. 

Each piece is made up of a minimum of three individually tinted clays, poured into a mould one after the other to create a skin of colour. The interior of each piece is glazed to make it watertight but the outside is left unglazed and sanded twice to give it a soft matt finish, contrasting nicely to the glossy interior.

Simplicity and function are at the core of her work, each piece has been designed to be used and loved every day, whether that’s for a strong coffee to get going in the morning or a desk mate to store your favourite stationery.
