New Works

Personal Size Blue Ash Berry Bowl
Personal Size Shino Berry Bowl
Large Bowl with Amber Celadon/ Blue Ash Glazes
Large Bowl with Copper Red/ Blue Ash Glazes


Shino Tea Caddy
Here are some new works that just came out of cone 10 reduction firing over the weekend. I found some interesting glaze combinations: Copper Red (inside) works well with most dark glazes (on outside).
At the same time, I also found that never use Amber celadon (inside) and Shino (on outside) on the same piece. Unfortunately, 1/5 of kiln load were in this glaze combination and they went straight to dumpster.
I am so used to with monochrome ceramics. Finding good glaze combination on one piece is quite challenging. I probabily shouldm't always trust my intuition.

  1. Hi Powen,
    Love the Ash Glazes. In the past I've noticed a willingness to share your glaze recipes. Is the Ash glaze one you would be willing to post?

    Thanks, Scott, Des Moines, WA

  2. Normally I wouldn't think of putting red with blue, but it really works with that bowl, your ash really runs very evenly and is a very strong blue I like it. Sorry about the combo you had to toss, what a big disappointment
