Stormy Pottery

The pots are then painstakingly cleaned and finally dried and polished. All these processes take approximately 5 weeks to complete. Each piece of work is unique, as the smoke firing process produces a different pattern every time.

Hand built , smoke fired pottery
All my work is hand built with a combination of coils, press moulds and slab methods.
Each pot is then porcelain slipped, burnished and bisque fired to a temperature of 990構. Pots are decorated using a variety of resists, before they are individually smoke fired in either sawdust or paper to produce their stormy patterns.
