Woodfired_bottle-necked_Vase

For many of these woodfired pots, there is no glaze applied. Ash deposits from the burning wood accumualte on the pots to cause the glaze. The color variations on the pots come from temperature, air, flame-flow and proximity to other pots in the kiln. These pots include samples fired in the all women's invitational wood firing at Hiroshi Ogawa's kiln in Elkton, OR, the Seabeck WA Santatsugama Dragon anagama kiln, the Chester Springs Studio, Chester Springs PA wood kiln and the Gulf Coast Kiln Walk Society - Navarre, FL anagama kiln.
