Each one is an experiment both in the making, glazes and firing. Shino, ash, slip, and fire. Some extra special pieces fired with @oxforduniversitykilns

I like the idea of sculpture, I admire those who can. This is me dabbling in that direction and it’s a whole bunch of fun. Sagger clay pressed into a plaster mold, altered and fettled and firebox anagama to finish. “This is me”

This is why we wood fire 🔥 The variations in this tiny storage jar are amazing. The combination of fly ash, atmosphere, proximity of other wares, extreme heat and time cannot be beaten. Firing with @robinwaldenceramics @neilhotchin @imogen_charleston_ceramics

It’s that fabulous time of year when the focus of firing makes life pressures fade and the excitement of what’s to come means you can’t sleep for a whole bunch of different reasons 😅 stacking done and lift off due 8am in the morning. Team is @robinwaldenceramics @neilhotchin @imogen_charleston_ceramics and me. Apart from horse flies (that seem to only like Robin and Neil) we are golden. Thanks to @robinwilsonartist for expert advice and enabling us all to fire, such a worthwhile project from @oxforduniversitykilns

Shield Studio Pottery would love to hear from you! We often attend local art events and Art Weeks when it’s on. You might find us firing local anagama kilns, or sourcing local clay. If you cant find us out and about we are probably on the wheel!
