Wind Chime Wedding Favors

We start with stoneware or porcelain clay and hand cut the windchime wedding favor pieces one at a time. The parts are air dried and finished by hand to remove rough edges. If the order calls for color, stains are applied before firing the parts in a kiln to around 2200 degrees. When the peices are cooled they are very strong and the hardness gives them the pleasant tone expected from a windchime

We began making porcelain and stoneware wind chimes more than 30 years ago. It all started with a lump of clay on the kitchen table. Our first design was the Autumn Leaf Chime and at that time we used low fire clay and each piece was hand airbrushed. For a time we sold them at crafts markets and fairs for extra money. After a while we switched from the low fire clay to the stoneware and porcelain we now use. Along the way we created a website where we sold our wind chimes and terra cotta bird houses and feeders online. One day we received a call from a New York City bride who wanted to use the fall leaf wind chimes as wedding favors.
