Pit fired pieces in more detail
February 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
February 23rd, 2010Pit firing went well today. It was sunny, but cold, even in Arizona. Here is an overview.
Thanksgiving Day pottery
November 29th, 2009These hot chocolate mugs came out of the kiln on Thanksgiving Day morning. Some are green and some are blue and brown.
These came out of the kiln this morning.
October 9th, 2009We’ve just had 12 hours of rain, but that didn’t stop me firing the kiln yesterday. Here are some of the results. No more meltdowns, thank goodness!
The tall pot is 14 in. tall. I also made one 26 in tall but it has only been bisqued so far. It just fitted into the kiln with 1 inch to spare! Fortunately it had shrunk down during drying from 28 inches. Making big pots is a challenge, and requires careful measuring! How do you like the ash glaze made from mesquite and pine ash?The Spider Woman hd
Don't do this!
October 6th, 2009
After bisque firing some pots made with local clay, I decided to include three in a cone six glaze firing. Not a good idea. As the pictures show we had a total meltdown. This was Ohio blue clay obtained from 15 ft below ground level during the excavation for a new farm pond. I don’t think I can save the shelf, but I did save the stilts. Oh well! We live and learn!
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.

He is not impressed. It doesn’t fit his nose and there is nothing to eat in it. Of course he couldn’t see inside if there was any food to eat.
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.

Glaze test pots
May 23rd, 2009I have been testing some new glazes. They are all cone 6 oxidation and I am trying to copy some cone 10 reduction glazes used in the past. The blue is very close and now the green is almost there. My next effort is to get a reasonable cone 6 purple glaze. This is a bit more difficult, but I will keep trying. I like colorful glazes which seem to be fairly popular out here in Arizona
