Potters Pages Feature: In The Studio, Coil Building Big Sculptures
Thanks so much to Potters Council for featuring some of my coil building techniques in this month’s Potters Pages. See page 3 below for the feature spot!
Thanks Lee! I actually don’t glase these pots often. The woodfired surface provides a naturally glazed surface on the raw clay. They are tough to load into the kiln, you can see that the big planter took 2 of us just to lift. Check out this previous blog post below for the tallest jar I’ve ever fired, and this one I did glaze!
Wow!!! That is amazing work. With each new article I become a bigger fan. Thanks for sharing such great inspirational work.
Paul thanks so much!!
Great article Joel and impressive pots. I can imagine they will be difficult to glaze and get into kiln!
