in our latest research on pottery, we've stumbled upon a paradigm-shifting concept: by employing a technique of preexpansion to the clay before it undergoes the firing process, we can separate individual particles within the clay body more effectively. this discovery allows us to initiate from square one in terms of design and structural integrity, dismissing previous limitations we thought were insurmountable. the pattern in which these particles realign offers unprecedented opportunities for pottery that is not only stronger but imbues each piece with a unique, distinguishable character.
