Bottle Clocks

In 2004 we tried various materials in our kiln, to see what happened, and found a useful product in flattened bottles.

It took a few tries to perfect the process, but we decided we had a product which could be developed and would sell. Clocks have been a feature of our product range since we started, so it seemed logical to make clocks from flattened bottles. The easy option is to flatten, drill, add the clock movement and numbers and, bingo, you have a clock. Being awkward, we wanted the original labels as well, so we spend a lot of time carefully removing labels, drying them and sticking them back on when the high temperature work is finished. We think the end product is worth it and looks great. Here's hoping you like our functional, decorative presents.

Variations on labelled bottle clocks are also produced. We can make clocks with no labels, and a set of numbers, (best on dark bottles), memory bottles, (no clock), to hang on the wall (especially good for wedding and anniversary presents). Chopping boards/cheese boards can also be made and these look good when the original bottle has some embossing, such as Gordons and Bacardi bottles as this can be kept. There is no label on these, of course, unless you want the back label.

All sorts of bottles can be used; beers, wines, spirits, mixers,olive oil, Marmite!, champagne and so on. You decide.

All items can posted and we can accept your bottle if you want to send it to us.
