Dimensions

8 x 5 x 5

Description

Thrown and faceted sculpture clay, wood fired in a noborigama kiln

Short Statement

Most of my work is functional. I like the idea of people using what I make. This vase was made and fired at Starworks in North Carolina, where I was able to use the heavily grogged sculpture clay they produce. It fired well in the clay program's three-chamber noborigama kiln. I'm hoping it will hold spring flowers..

Firebox plate

Price

$200

Dimensions

4 x 12 x 3

Description

Plate was glazed with crackle slip, oribe glaze, copper red and ash celadon glaze, then placed deep in the firebox of a Bourry Box wood kiln, ultimately in several of the coalbeds below the hobs. Fired there for 24 hours.

Short Statement

Putting this plate into the firebox of a wood kiln, where it would be buried in hot coals for 24 hours, guaranteed unpredictable results. The fractured, nearly destroyed plate tells the story of the firing.
