Still Pinging
I love gas firings. I love how the flame dances around the pots and kisses them with color. I enjoy the inconsistency and sometimes unpredictable results. I feel like the piece is a collaboration between myself and the flame. I also love how the pots will ping for a while after being removed from the kiln. To me it sounds like they are singing.
After the most recent gas firing I left these pieces on the dinning room table for far longer than I should have but everyday at least one of them would greet me with it's song.

I love the idea of singing pottery. Beautiful work too!
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteThe idea is great (also the collaboration between you and the flame)
ReplyDeleteI believe it may have gone too far however when they all start pinging "Be Our Guest" =)
If they start pinging any recognizable tune I'll stick to electric firing...or stop drinking my own beer.
ReplyDeleteoh golly, what a FANTASTIC group of work here!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gary
