Each seal is shaped individually from a ball of stoneware clay to give a distinctive character and attitude, based on study and observation. After an initial firing they are decorated with clay slips, oxides and glazes and finally fired to about 1100 degrees. This free and flexible approach allows me to create an interesting and varied collection based on observations of wild seals off the Cornish Coast.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePlease note\u003c\/span\u003e* We have provided these photographs as \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ea guide only\u003c\/span\u003e - because these items are hand made you may receive a seal\/seals which are similar to the picture, but not exactly the same.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA percentage of the profits made from the sale of these items are used to fund our charity's mission to promote and protect our precious, native wild seals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith your first two orders we will send you a leaflet pack, which includes 15 Fascinating Facts About Grey Seals, Eco-Tips, and Watching Seals Well.
