Tea pot made with sameI have spent the past several months recovering from a teaked wrist. I have not been able to make any pots but I have reclaimed quiet a bit a my scrap clay. I pretty much save everything that is clean. I have mixed in more plastic clays to by basic clay body. I am trying to fix a cracking problem that has plagued me for some time now. It seems to be a rehydration issue. I raw glaze my pots but the problem does not show up until fired to temp. The "new" old clay is in dryers that I moved into my workshop. It now ready to be pugged and stored. I have tried many premixed clays, but if you have ever thrown clay that has been mixed in a slurry then dried, you know it makes a really good plastic clay. It still smells like clay!

Full Circle
Loading the wood kiln
I fired the salt kiln a few weeks ago, pots for The Schaller Gallery "Vapor" exhibition as well as AKAR,s yunomi show next spring. Before I started salt glazing in 1989, I used primarily ash and iron glazes ( in a reduction kiln ). The wood kiln will have these as well as slips with brush work.
