Here is brief statement concerning the grave markers shown in the slide show: Formally, this work represents my initial fascination with not only the singular closed form made by traditional potters, but with its unique function. Serving only to Mark time and space both physically and conceptually, these pieces interrupt expectations of functionality, and further investigate the boundaries of pottery and sculpture. Arrived at by combinations of essentialized parts to form an individuated whole,… Continue

Using Wood Pulp mixed with soda

Has anyone ever experimented with adding wood pulp to soda burritos? I make soda burritos and put them between the bag walls and the burner ports and allow them to become volatile and evaporate throughout the firing process. I was wondering if adding specific types of wood pulp (e.g. pine, elm, or cherry) would be of interest to add to the soda burritos in terms of their influence on surface treatment. Continue

Second firing notes.....

Howdy y'all.......I have been completely stacked with work lately and I can assure you that is the chief cause to my delay in posting new photos, blogs etc.. I really have been running full steam for a couple months now and I am very happy to say that I finally fired my second load of pots. I will be posting photos this weekend and I feel that I learned a great deal from my "virgin firing", for those that know, and I am as optimistic for the future as ever. My kiln owes all of its credit to Rich… Continue

Kiln firing

Got the soda kiln loaded yesterday, candled overnight and firing today. I put three pictures of the back, middle and front stacks on my blog at: http://www.shambhalapottery.blogspot.com I made a lot of changes in the chimney (removed two layers), bag wall (raised and it altered the openings) and flues (reduced them to about 47sq in), so it may be an interesting firing. So far this morning, the temperature, top to bottom in this cross draft are dead even. Till later, June http://www.shambhalap… Continue

Saying 'hi' from Calgary, Alberta

The NCECA conference was a wonderful event! So, much to see, do, learn. The soda chat was worth the price of entry to learn about so many people who are interested in atmospheric firing! I've only done about 6 firings in 30 cu gas kilns at school and a duo salt/soda kiln that I have now got access to. Fortunately, I got to see Gail Nichol's methods in action at Northwest Potteries in Seatle with really good kiln technicians and firing to see what IS possible. I'm hooked. And I consider Gail, t… Continue
