A few pitchers

I threw a few pitchers yesterday. They are always fun and I never seem to have enough of them. The weather is warming up and it seems like wood firing is a possibility again!!

Wood fired ceramics site

Here is a nice site that has some great wood fired pots from many contemporary potters. I find it really well done and easy to navigate.

Eichizen Pots

Here are some wood fired pots from Eichizen area of Japan.
I find them to be a nice inspiration.

Big Pots

Here is a picture of some wadding and shells that were used to hold a larger pot on it's side.

Here are two shots of the main fire box. I thought that I'd put them up to keep warm this winter.

Got wood?

Wadding from Wood Fire

I took this picture of the wadding and shells that came out of the last firing. I like the colors and flashing that happen.

Here is picture of a bottle of Lee's that came out of the last firing. It still has to be cleaned up. the clay looks very similiar to the clay that he is using in Mashiko.

Snow pots

These are a couple of photos of some pots that sit around outside and are covered with snow after the first snowfall.
