Brick Pond Handworks is one of the Massachusetts potteries that continue the tradition of the original Dedham Pottery. Each Brick Pond Handworks creation is made entirely by hand. Slight variation in design and color add character and reflect their unique hand-crafted origin. Low-fired earthenware clay is first rolled into a slab from which each design is hand-cut. Once cured, each piece is wiped by hand to smooth any rough edges and then hand-painted ensuring special attention to detail. The artist signs each piece guaranteeing its authenticity. The pottery is then bisque fired and glazed. Each ornament is hand-finished and decorated with a satin ribbon and gift tag.
