Here is a few samples of new work that will be on sale.

New experiment with reduction

You can’t make an omlet without breaking a few eggs

These pots over grew crystals like crazy. I either need to reduce the amount of zinc or up the firing temp.

First Firing of The Summer

Just finished a firing with some new techniques and glazes. Mixed some sculpture and under glaze painting with the crystalline glazed porcelain. The nesting gourd shapes turned out awesome.

Underglaze anyone?

admin — Thu, 06 May 2010 23:49:54 +0000

I have had a few friends ask me how I get the images on my pottery. They are painted on with underglaze. Underglaze is a slip-like glaze that fires onto the clay a lot like paint. It looks great and is stable under glazes like celadon and most cone 10 transparents. My favorite is a clear glaze developed by Pete Pinnell called Pete’s Clear. It has been frustrating trying to find a crystalline clear that is compatible with the underglaze. I have killed several test pots in the search. Drawing and painting have always been a passion of mine. Combining drawing and clay is a logical step -and a fun one.

First successful copper red firing in my new kiln

admin — Tue, 04 May 2010 23:08:01 +0000

This is the first time I was able to judge the atmosphere of my kiln accuratly enough to achieve copper reds.

A friend on the Crystalline glaze made me a Oxygen probe that made it easy to start an early reduction at 1500, and carry a med reduction all the way to cone 10

These pots will be for sale at summer fest August 7, at Bountiful park.

December Firings

I just received an early Christmas present from Terry Fallon. He built me an O2 probe that will help me fine tune the atmosphere of my kiln, It works like a dream. I was able to trim 6 hours off my first firing. I put a few pots back in the kiln for a post fire reduction and got some nice purples. No red yet sigh…..
