Currently on offer in the shop is a large batch of what is called saggar fired pottery.  This style was the focus of my work in 2023. This work is non functional, it does not hold water because it is a low fire style of pottery.  Its function is its beauty.  The final outcome is a result of a chemical reaction that is captured and imprinted on the surface of the pottery.  At approximately 1200-1300 degrees Fahrenheit the chemicals involved combust and react to the heat creating a multitude of effects.  There is a degree of control, but much of the outcome is dictated by the fire.  For every pot that made it to the shop there were several that didn't meet the esthetic standard to be sold as top quality.  These are all hand thrown, one piece vases with a trimmed foot on the bottom.  They are free of cracks or other defect.   Check out the video for a quick tutorial
