jabu currently makes bowls, cups, mugs, vases, lamps and candle holders he only uses clay and glazes that are from south africa, most of which are from wadeville the glaze is comprised of natural local ingredients that he mixes with water himself to the correct consistency he creates the pieces in a three step process the first step is to create the basic shape of the piece on a pottery wheel after the piece has dried he sketches out the design which he then carves before firing it the last step is to paint the piece before it is fired for the final time
