I create domestic ware and sculptures fired at 1300°C with reduction. The clay I use is mostly stoneware clay mixed with some Coromandel clay. My pots are thrown on a Bernhard Leach Kickwheel and an electric wheel. I use a gas kiln and a wood fired two chamber climbing kiln, the second chamber is for salt firing. In 2016 I built another small wood fired up-draught kiln just for salting. Pine slabs from a local saw mill provide the fuel to reach these high temperatures.
I use shino and other glazes, often in layers on top of each other, dipped and poured and I decorate on top of that with the same glazes using brushes and a slip trailer. I also use slips for decoration and especially for the salt fired pots, I like to use stamps and combs which I press and roll and scratch into the still moist clay.? My pots are thinly thrown and light. They are dishwasher and microwave safe.
Some of my sculptures are Terracotta fired at 1140°C, no reduction, with red clay from Driving Creek Railway.
