Braer is proud to share a range of Pãn Pottery works by Angus McDiarmid. Pãn Pottery uses a traditional wood fire kiln, kick wheel and hand dug local clays. Each pot is completely unique as the clay and fire decide the finish of the pot.

The Process

Clay is sourced from around 5 – 20 km from the Pan studio. The clay is soaked, sieved, dried and aged for at least 12 weeks then blended with another Australian clay to create strength and consistency resulting in a superior pot. A collection of wood, rice hull and bamboo ash are used in the glazes creating a deeper connection with the local environment. All pots are thrown on a kick wheel overlooking Lake Weyba and Noosa Hill.

Pãn Pottery wood fire in a Catenary Arch kiln and traditional Japanese kiln called an Anagama, the energy that goes into wood fired pots is truly incredible. The wood firing takes place over four days with temperatures reaching over 1300°C. The magic of this process is created by the ash from the wood, as the ash lands on the pots surface it becomes the glaze! Every pot in a wood fire is completely unique!
