Porcelain White, Red, Yellow and Lilac Rose
Starting at the centre of the rose I made a coil and then layer each petal, one by one. The flowers are made on a nichrome wire- the porcelain shrinks in the kiln creating an incredibly strong join.
Rose
Flower Stem Wire
The nichrome wire discolours during the firing process giving a lovely dark colour, rather than the shiny silver finish before firing.
The wire is 1mm in diameter and approx. 15cm long.
You can cut the wire to the size of your liking using jewellery wire cutters.
The wire can be manipuled to position your flowers as desired and is incredibly durable.

Please note each flower is made individually and all will look slightly different, there will also be slight colour variations. This is also the case for the vases and is the beauty of buying handmade.
