| I enjoy a wide range of processes for forming,
glazing and firing.
Texture pots are hand-built using the slab methods, with the surfaces
created with rollers and stamps I have made of clay or found objects
(seeds, pods, shells, string and so on). They are typically fired at
cone 6 in an electric kiln, or in cone 10 gas reduction. I
have made texture rollers and stamps, and combine these with
natural objects (seed pods, shells, etc.) to create the
surfaces. My wheelwork is mostly in stoneware and fired to Cone
10 in a reduction kiln. Most recently, I have begun combining
wheel thrown forms with slab built textured elements. I have
also been involved with wood-fire, and appreciate the warmth and
unpredictable surface qualities it imparts. |
