I have changed my schedule lately in the studio. I'm not usually a morning person, but the afternoon heat in these metal quanset huts feels like I'm baking in a tin can! So now I'm loving the sweet early hours of morning before the fog lifts, mine in my head, as well as the river fog rising above the mountains! Now I'm off to the farmers market, and later I get to visit with my friend and artist Meagan Chaney who's swinging through town. Tonight there's a lecture and wood fired exhibit opening at Crimson Laurel Gallery which should be pretty impressive!
Beautiful work as always. Do you only use porcelain clay for your soda work? If not, what other clays do you use and how has your experience been with the other clay and soda firing? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mike!
ReplyDeleteMost of the time I use both a light stoneware (phoenix from highwater) and a porcelaineous stoneware, called loafers glory. It's similar to a porcelain. Both of these do really well in soda firings.
I agree beautiful pieces, got to watch out for that heat though! Makes working very difficult...
