Slip Decoration

Slip trailing is the process of using watered down clay pipe onto the clay, similarly to decorating a cake. Once fired, the slip fuses to the piece, helping to create an interactive surface for the glaze. Taking the piece from a flat surface, to demensional and full of intrigue.

Wood & Soda Fired

Wood & soda fired pieces are characterized by warm, earthy tones, glassy surfaces similar in feeling to slightly coarse stone.

The unique textured surface is developed by the interaction of wood ash and sodium vapors at temperatures exceeding 2300 degrees Fahrenheit.

By combining wood & soda firing, which are typically performed separately, I'm able to produce a nice blend of qualities from both techniques.
