After seven years of collaborating on a dinnerware collection, Alabama Chanin and Heath Ceramics announce a jewelry line, producing hand-etched necklaces in the Alabama Chanin-Heath Ceramics collaborative style. The necklaces are cut in Heath’s San Francisco tile factory then completed in their Sausalito factory, where the jewelry team drills the holes in the bars, glazes, etches, fires, and assembles the necklaces. The bars are fired in the kiln with larger ceramics, filling in small areas of the kiln that would otherwise be empty, and thus making the production process more efficient. The highly skilled etching technique used in Alabama Chanin’s line of dinnerware is also applied to the necklaces.
