Recent salt wood firing with Matthew Kelly and got this beautiful jug back from the kiln. The glazes melted nicely over the texture and the orange peel texture on the bare clay is nice.

Shino Chawan with Ash glaze accents. Woodfired to cone 8. The atmosphere in the kiln really brings out the characteristic of the shino and the wild clay body.
Also my first ever wood firing :D

Ash glazed cup, it has an uneven wobble because the glaze dripped all the way to the foot. The red flash comes from copper that was in a nearby pot and it jumped from one to the other.

Ash glaze bowl fired in a saggar box. The deep green comes from the iron found in the wood ash and the wild clay in the glaze recipe. I’m not sure what caused the blue speckles, I think the silica sand in the wild clay caused it. #ashglaze #pottery #wheelthrown #pottersofbluesky #ceramics #wildclay

Spent all day yesterday glazing all my works for an upcoming woodfiring to cone 6. Everything is glazed in either my ash glaze or shino. I’m excited to see how it works out.

loving this shape, it looks like a fat bird to me. inspired by mark hewitt. i think i might wood fire it with an ash glaze.

ash glaze tests, light green is just normal ash glaze base and the darker green is same base but wild clay replaces the kaolin. the clay provides more iron and makes it darker

this clay doesn’t have much strength on the wheel so i tried out a new method. i threw the spout first, cut it off and then threw the body. i reattached the spout and it worked pretty well. also made a teabowl.

Day 20: Final day! Wild clay vase with thick shino and lots of wood ash. The clay caused nice crawling and the wood ash melted a lot.

Day 18: Ash glaze sake cup. The glaze when thin is a streaky blue on the dark clay but when it’s too thick it becomes like a nuka white glaze.
