Two potters and a kiln in an old rice barn
Din Lom is Anong and Wit, a wheel each, and a gas kiln we built in 2017 in a rice barn in Mae Tha, twenty minutes outside Lampang. We mix white Lampang kaolin with a red clay dug two villages away. In the kiln, the iron in that red clay burns up through the white glaze, and that is where the freckles come from.
The kiln holds about 180 pieces and we fire it every second Saturday. What comes out is what the shop sells. The number stamped under the foot tells you which firing your pot came from.

Nine days from a ball of clay to the shelf
- Day 1Thrown
A ball of 400 g of clay is opened on the wheel and pulled up into a wall.
- Day 2Trimmed
The foot is cut, the handle is pulled, and the firing number is stamped underneath.
- Days 3 to 6Dried
Four slow days under cloth. The pot loses its water and a little of its size.
- Day 7First fire
900 °C turns clay into biscuit: hard, pale, and still thirsty enough to drink glaze.
- Day 8Glazed
Dipped by hand in white glaze, one pot at a time. The foot stays bare.
- Day 9Second fire
1,250 °C melts the glaze to glass and draws the iron up through it as freckles.
Come and choose your own on a Saturday
The barn is open to visitors every Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00. On firing Saturdays you can watch the kiln being loaded, and the seconds shelf is half price.
