Some other pit-fired pots
May 24th, 2010 
These were also fired recently.
New pit-fired pots
May 24th, 2010 I have recently completed some pit-fired pots, some are quite large - up to 26 inches tall. Here is a before and after picture of the tallest one. 
This pot is compared below with another one pit-fired at a different time.
Pit fired pieces in more detail
March 23rd, 2010These pieces were wrapped in thin copper wire, which is still attached in some places after firing. I hope you like them.
Pit fired today
March 23rd, 2010 Pit firing went well today. It was sunny, but cold, even in Arizona. Here is an overview.

A few examples of some things I made recently
May 28th, 2009I like to make bowls with broken glass inside. When the bowl is fired some of the oxide colorants in the glaze dissolve in the glass and produce interesting effects. Here are some recent examples
Back in Ohio again
May 28th, 2009I am now back in Ohio - we have been back for a week or two, but very busy with non-pottery things. Some of my work has been delivered to a local gallery and now it is time to get going on new work. Yesterday, I photographed some pieces before delivering them and my dog, Flynn, decided to check one of them out.
weathering effects on a tile
May 23rd, 2009About 5 years ago I attached this 6″ tile to an outside wall where it has been in full sun for more than half the day and exposed to temperatures up to 110 F in the summer and subjected to freezing temperatures at night in the winter. The wall is on the side of a mountain (4,500 ft.) in Arizona, so it has been snowed on from time to time as well. It was originally fired at cone 6. There is some crazing of the transparent glaze, but otherwise it seems to have survived the weathering very well.
Tile weathered for five years
