Solar Bowl

Tue, 5 Feb 2008 23:25:20 -0700

Most valuable piece every created by self. Not willing to sell. Beautiful example of a soda fired tea bowl. It has orange peel look, as well as soda build up on opposing side. White marks are an example of stilting marks. (In all atmospheric firings, pots are tumble stacked on top of each other. They would fuse if we didn’t put the material in between.

Small wood fired tea bowl

Tue, 5 Feb 2008 23:24:32 -0700

A small tea cup style tea bowl. Fired purely by wood, in a firing that lasted 3 days of non stop firing. This piece got pounded by wood ash on one side. Has some rustic debris from firing on a few spots (product of firing). Is functional, but perhaps better as art. $40
