Wood Fired Mug #9
This piece was fired in the first firing of our newly built wood kiln, which we named “The Firefly”. The firing took 34 hours to reach 2300 degrees Fahrenheit using over a cord of fire wood, then and cooled over a period of 4 days. During the firing ash and flame flows through the kiln creating organic and unique patterns on each piece. At peak temperature we add a mixture of baking soda, salt and sawdust which vaporizes instantly and forms a textured glassy glaze on everything in the kiln. This “soda” glaze hits each pot differently, often forming two distinct sides to the piece and unexpected patterns.
All our wood fired pottery is glazed on the interior making it functional, waterproof and food safe even if the exterior has a matte surface.
