Work generally available from:
My studio at Bettiscombe

Technical Information

All pots are 'once' fired in an Anagama type kiln to 1300+ degrees Centigrade. Simple Shino and local wood ash glazes are further enhanced by residual ash from the firebox. Salt is added to the back of the kiln producing heavy 'orange peel' glazes.
