made from low fire clay, this lidded vessel was fired in a sawdust pit firing at the shadbolt center. pit firing is one of the most ancient firing techniques, and it creates incredible variety in color and pattering from the combustible elements that are added to the kiln. fr this pot, I used copper wiring, coffee grounds, and corn husks to achieve this surprising finish. low fire clay is delicate and must be handed with care.
