I fire all of my work in a 24 foot long Anagama tunnel kiln which I designed and constructed in 1997. The kiln is stoked with wood 24 hours a day for eight days. I make a range of tableware, vases and large garden jars. Most of the pots are loaded into the kiln unglazed. The interaction of wood ash, flame pattern, and clay over the extended firing creates the unique surfaces of the finished ware. Each pot is unique telling its own story of where and how it was fired.
