Each one-of-a-kind bottle is built over the course of eight to ten days, allowing a section to set before adding the next coil.

Each day new clay is wedged to remove air, rolled out and flattened, then joined to the bottle. After the new clay has been melded together with the existing structure, the process of throwing begins. Finally, the new clay is shaped, continuing the form and motion begun earlier in each bottle's creation.

After drying from six to eight weeks, the bottles are fired up to three weeks to temperatures ranging from 2080 to 2150 degrees Fahrenheit. A six-foot tall wheel thrown bottle weighs approximately 300 pounds.
