Wood burning kiln built at Oxford University. They are called philosophers kilns - I have no idea why! Suggestions? But very satisfying to build and great fun to fire 🔥.

Interesting glaze effect. Not what I expected or intended at all but quite a happy fault after a bit of judicious sanding.

I fell in love with this brown clay. So smooth and the surface is rich and like chocolate (maybe that’s why I like it? 🙂)

I like only glazing the inside of pots so the clay aspect of the pots is not hidden.

I find making vase shapes very satisfying. They straddle the sculptural and the functional.

Matcha cups or kind of chawan I guess?
