White Stoneware, ^10 Soda Fired
Dimensions: 4" x 6.5" x 7"
My wares are primarily fired in a gas-fired kiln in which sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash, is introduced into the atmosphere at its peak temperature. The soda ash volatizes in the hot kiln, is carried along with the flame, and is attracted to the silica within the clay body, forming a glaze directly on the surface of the objects. The color and texture of the surfaces are influenced by how restricted or unrestricted the flame is as it carries the soda ash throughout the kiln. Occasionally, I fire my work in a wood burning kiln in which similar principals are involved, however, it is the wood ash and soluble materials within it that are creating the glaze directly on the work. These firing processes create unique and intense surface patterns that cannot be replicated, making each of my wares unique. Learn more about my process HERE.
Each piece is carefully sanded to give the wares a smooth and approachable surface.
