Wood fired collection: small dish for treats or jewelry

A wood fired dish made from red speckled clay and glazed with a celadon, which has developed a dark green-grey tone on the red clay body. The surface shows beautiful crackles, subtle stripes and ash deposits. It looks different from every angle, lots to discover. Lovely to use as a dish for rings or jewelry, or as a small serving dish for small treats. Thrown with a hollow rim, creating a donut like effect with a softly rounded edge.

Together with a group of ceramicists, we came together to take on the intensive process of firing in a large wood kiln. The kiln is slowly stoked with wood until it reaches 1300°C. It’s a process that requires constant attention to both flame and temperature, as these elements directly influence the final outcome.
As the flames move through the kiln, along with swirling wood ash, they interact with the pots inside  leaving behind beautiful and unpredictable effects. It’s a raw, volatile and uncertain process where survival of each piece is not guaranteed. The works that make it through always carry the story of the fire, with small imperfections, variations and textures that reflect the unique charm of woodfiring.
