This fall I spent a month long residency in the north of Scotland at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop, experimenting with different atmospheric firing techniques.

This collection of pit-fired vessels were thrown on the wheel, bisque fired to 1000 Celsius, and then covered in combustables, salt, banana peels and oxides, and wrapped in aluminium foil and placed in a fire pit.

The results were unpredictable and a lot of control was surrendered in the process. Each piece is unique in form and surface decoration, where flashes of violet and smoke, blushes of peach and crimson adorn the pot like a watercolour galaxy.

1 - 12 cm height x 5 cm diameter at rim

2 - 12 cm height x 9 cm diameter at rim

3 - 16 cm height x 6 cm diameter at rim

4 - 18 cm height x 6 cm diameter at rim

Please note that these have only been bisque-fired, and are therefore porous and not food safe. They have been treated with bees wax on the exterior, however they are not water-tight and are intended for ornamental use only.

All pieces are made by hand, in a small-batch studio setting. Variations in glaze colour, texture, shape and size of the piece can be expected as part of the handmade process.

Please allow for 3-5 business days for your order to be processed and dispatched.
