Last firing before @celebratingceramics I am confident this firing will deliver some absolute beauties. I’m packed up ready to go for the 11-13th show as next weekend I have commitments. It would be amazing to catchup, please do come and visit. Thanks to those who are close followers of my work, I know you’ll be there - you know who you are - a special thank you 💫

And so the cycle starts again. The hints of beauty from my last few firings nudge the work forward. I am making these canvasses for the fire and glaze. It’s an equal creative application between these 3 processes

In the natural light the movement in this glaze combination is mesmerising. It’s good indoors but outside there’s a whole new depth to it, so interesting it makes such a difference. With thanks to @oxfordkilns for the project.

Opened tonight from firing on the weekend at @oxfordkilns with @neilhotchin and @fireformed2020 great to have @robinwaldenceramics and @toby1duncan and @wild.gorse.pottery at the opening. Photos are a mix of potters work. Overall a good result, high temps (too hot for a few) and some blushes of ash, a few absolutely stunning pieces but beauty is in the eye of the beholder - look out for posts of the participating potters. Well done Ollie Shield on the plates - top job, well made pieces 💫

Early start lighting at 5am at @oxfordkilns firing

Early start lighting at 5am at @oxfordkilns firing with @neilhotchin and @fireformed2020 thanks to both for a big effort getting things stacked and the stoking today. 1300 at midday and closed at 4pm. Wytham woods are alive with birds and insects, a beautiful place to spend the hours 💫

Nuka over tenmoku, wood fired with @oxfordkilns. The blue and the translucency the wood fired atmosphere brings is unparalleled. Thanks to @robinwaldenceramics and @imogen_charleston_ceramics for a successful firing. This will be with me @celebratingceramics 11-13 July Imogen is also exhibiting at this show. Come and visit. I have a discount code for tickets if you nudge me.
