Wow! Such positives reactions and vibes! I don't think much of them myself. This encourages me to make another one. Perhaps like the one in the first photo. But one that works :-) I have some ideas already.

Well, I don't sell them. They aren't that awesome you know. Perhaps in the future if i get better at making them.

How they are made? Wll. You start with chamotte clay. I use white mostly. You have 2 types, a fine and a more crude chamoytte. You use several techniquest to make stuff. I use a roller and make flat pieces for the bottom. On that I put flat sides. it really depends on what model you asking.

Number one, the round one is amde using the rolls techniqwue. you start with a bottom and make it taller by placing rolls of clay on top and rubbing them smooth so they stcik together.
The second one was made using flattened rolled pieces. I crafted the top on there as well so it was one piece. Then i cut it in half to be able to glaze the inside. I used a kit to glue them together again and copper tubes for the required mouthpiece and inner tube.

The last one was made by making a long line of clay in the square shape and then boring a hole through it. Then I put then pieces together in the shape you see. The trick is not to deform the clay and close the tunnels.
The second last one was made using the flat placque technique and put edges on it so you had a sort of ashtray. In that I made a whole drainage like system of channels going back and forth. On top I placed a flat lid.

After this the pieces are baked in an oven at 1030C called the 'biscuit oven'. Then they are solid. The whole process takes may hours. Then you clean of dust and glaze them. I use a powder form. Youa dd a little water to it until you reach a yoghurt thickness. Then you apply it with a brush on the clay. It is not like paint. You can rub it off easily so you need to be careful.

The piece thn is baked again at 960C. The powder then smelts onto the clay. This way you can make a piece carry water, like the waterpipes.

And then it is ready.

It takes weeks because I don't make these at home but at an activity centre.
