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.

Here are two more of Lee's, the teabowl on the left and the vase next to it.

Here is a shot of one of Lee's pots that got into the firing. It is the gourd shaped one in the middle.

A view of the front of the firing with the door halfway down. Still warm!

A vase with a carbon trap glaze. The white on top is flyash.

A vase from the firebox. It still needs to be cleaned.

Squared plates

These plates have a shino glaze that has finger swipes as a decoration. The shino got completely covered with flyash, acept where I had a bowl resting on shells stacked on top of it.

This is slab built pitcher with a shino glaze with finger swipes. It got a bit wet with flyash.

Firebox Vase with Custer inclusions

This is a vase from the front of the kiln, it has Custer Feldspar inclusions, is glazed with flyash.

Eight sided vase

Here is an eight sided vase that came from the last the Fall 2007 woodfiring. The claybody has nepheline syenite inclusions.

Mosiac Reloaded

Here are a couple of pictures of a commission that was completed in February 2007. It is called "The River of Life", it's 34 feet long and 5' 3" tall. The first photo is of a baptismal fount that was also part of the commission.

Here is a picture of a Korean pot with a paddled "bird foot" pattern on it. It is from the Three Kingdom period, before the Koreo Celedons. It is one of the top 100 treasures of Korea. Wish that I was able to get a little better photo of it. The pot is located in the National Museum in Seoul, South Korea.

Srutting pitcher

Here is a hand built pitcher that I made using slabs. I wanted a pitcher that had a sense of movement and also would create a feeling of celebration.

snow pots

Here are a couple of pots right after this weeks snow fall.

I Like the way that the drifts flow around the pots!
The first pot is about 3 feet tall and the second is about 2 feet. We hac alot of snow this week.
