firing again – quick recap | Skye wood fire
https://skyewoodfire.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/firing-again-quick-recap
Wood firing and raku firing ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Firing again – quick recap. Enough of Japan (for now) back to wood firing and the new kiln, built last year. I meant to start writing this with the laying of the first course of bricks but I put it on Facebook instead. I found it hard to picture the whole build so drip feeding into FB was easier. First wood kiln, Phoenix type design and so easy to fire. Trying to decide upon the best kiln for this exposed site on the Isle of Skye took a long time.

Wood firing and raku firing ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Wood fired and raku fired ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Shiny new raku kiln. 18 years ago I returned to potting, and myself and my Non Potting Partner built a raku kiln from an old oil drum. I thought it would do whilst I worked out what I wanted to make and how I wanted to fire. Castro kiln has finally been retired and put out to graze, there he is, out in the sunshine.

Learning how to cast resin with Jo Pudelko. June 22, 2016. Over the weekend I had the pleasure of attending a resin casting workshop with Jo Pudelko. At Hill Street Design House. I practically passed out when my flatmate gifted me a pair of her earrings… I mean, look at how perfect they are in the image below; who doesn’t want need these in their jewellery box?

Mashiko part 3, actually buying pots | Skye wood fire
https://skyewoodfire.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/mashiko-part-3-actually-buying-pots
Wood firing and raku firing ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Mashiko part 3, actually buying pots. Pot number 1, a small tenmoku dish from Hamada Museum, for my good friend who drove me to Aberdeen airport at 5am to catch my flight to London to connect with the Narita flight. No photo of this. At this early stage of my visit there was no question, the bowl remained and the vase came home, fulfilling all the criteria elegantly. Pots number 3 and 4, pressed tenmoku dish, shino glazed tokkuri. January 30, 2014.
