A few things I made recently

I'm building up up quite a stock of unglazed pieces at the moment. Some of them I'll finish off in the electric kiln but others are better suited to being glaze fired in reduction, which for me means firing out-doors. It will probably be spring before I'm able to fire with wood again, and it's quite frustrating having to wait so long to complete work.

Here are just a few of the pieces I've been making over the last few weeks. Many are experimental, trying out new techniques and shapes..it always amazes me how certain forms can be quite similar and yet one piece often stands out and works better than the others..it can be difficult to put your finger on the reason why..
