Thermometer Making
The
process
begins every morning when Marty and Monique, in their studio, start
with natural terracotta clay that they form, by hand, into their
various designs. The clay then dries, is sanded and fired in a kiln to
1850 degrees for 8 hours, hardening the pieces to an almost
indestructible product. Each piece is an original because no two are
exactly the same. Such is the nature of handmade products. Not all are
absolutely flawless. Some, to the layman's eye, might have a teeny
imperfection such as an identation, a slight variation in color or
rarely, an odd fingerprint, but they have a quality and style no
machine can duplicate. They are imprinted and hand painted.Thermometers are
set to Fahrenheit scale.
