Photos of Production

The sequence of photos below shows some of the many steps we use to make our ceramics.  We make each bisque by hand and paint each piece free-hand.  We have also uploaded longer video clips on You Tube and our Facebook page.  Just search "Le Souk Ceramique" in the search bar on either website and you will find us.
