Fresh out of the kiln. I’m playing with a different glaze combo. Cone 10 reduction.

Small piece where I am (still…) chasing a glaze combination I happened across. Maybe it was just the randomness of the kiln gods, but I am enjoying the results along the way.

A few views of a piece done in 2024. Cone 10 reduction. Paired with a piece in one view that was done a decade before. I love organic forms that play with contour.

Not sure what to call these, but I see them as small elevated serving dishes. This one the photo does not reflect the subtle hints of blue near edges and breaks.

This surface is something I find very interesting. Slab forms, hacked away to create the craggy surface. Wash applied away and wiped away and then clear glaze, cone 10.

Recent altered form. Bowl thrown on the wheel to which I added the leaves for this piece. Fired at cone 10.
I have received reactions of”succulent?”, “cactus?”, “lettuce?”, and “anenome?”
Make of it what you will…
