Thanks Russell, Ed and Paul for your comments and feedback. Although the topics are not the same, I agree with what each of you said.

Paul, the clay is Standard 547. After doing some research, it turns out that it should be fine, as long as it is a light reduction.

But, as I am sure you know, the only real way to know is to test, test, test... Wink

Wow how the time flies.....

I FINALLY have some new pots from my new kiln to share. Just getting the new kiln up and running has been a MAJOR effort. Time has been spent on building a shed, getting permits, putting the gas line in, etc. I have a LONG way to go to get things the way I want them, but that's where the fun starts.

Anyhoo, here is a large oval with a lot of iron, medium level of reduction...

I appreciate all the discussion lately about the traditional and the artistic styles/directions taking root in contemporary bonsai today. Walter Pall has helped to push the artistic side with his presentation of Gorbelny's primitive pots. I think perhaps this pot suits that vein, I hope...

Perhaps I could see an old pine or larch in this dark brooding piece? Here is the other side...

I like Your pots very much, but I especially love the feets of Your pots! It´s not so long I´ve been taught the technical term "footfetish"!

I remember one of my nonclassical Smile pots too:

Rob,
Great to see your new work out of the gas kiln. Now to embark upon the reduction effect cheers I love the feet on that rustic one very natural and fitting of that pot. I am looking forward to seeing more and am glad you gotten your gas set up finally going. I am gearing up to fire this weekend hopefully I will have time to photo a few and post.
Keep up the great work!

Hey Rob,

This pot is absolutely beautiful. I love the feet, would love to know how you make them... bounce

I am curious, 'a lot of iron'... is this a particular type of clay? or one you have modified? applied wash?

Peter,
Thanks for your kind words. Your pots are always an inspiration!

Robert,
I appreciate your words of encouragement very much, and I am looking forward to seeing some of your new pots too! I am glad you can appreciate the artistic rustic look in the pot you mentioned. I like it so much, I am not sure I want to sell it!!!

Matt
These pieces are made with a mixture of leftover scraps from different claybodies that I use. I must recycle them and make them ready for the type of work I do. In this pot I added an iron wash to give it a warm toasty unglazed look. As for the feet, I am giving credit to sir Dan Barton! I have seen this coiled look in functional pottery for years, but I noticed Dan Barton using it on some of his feet on his pots quite effectively as well.
Thanks for taking time to comment!

Tom,
Somehow I lost my reply to you when I sent it.... Rolling Eyes

Anyway, I really like that pot you posted here. It is a great combination of the slab and rectangular forms. As for your lack of feet, I think it is very effective too. You should make more like this, yes?

That dark brooding piece is gone, is gone now, and I really miss it! Oh well, at least I know it went to a good home!

Well, to kick things along, here are some from my last firing.

This is a commissioned oval, fired in reduction, ^6:Here's a few pots... - Page 7 2010-115

Hey Rob,

I missed your reply to my last post, many thanks for the info. I have only just started learning about clay & working with it, there is so much to learn affraid (couldnt find a hair pulling smiley) I did a load of tests in my last firing with a couple of oxides & washes, lots more will be done in the next lot.

I really like that last pot you posted, carved half cascade, all the elements have come together really well. How big is it? And is it for sale? I can see one of my aust natives in it.

Matt

Peter,
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I am much obliged Very Happy

Matt,
Yes this pot is for sale, but like so many other recent pots, it is not yet added to my inventory/website. If you are really interested though I can send it to you. Shipping it to Australia would probably cost as much as the pot Rolling Eyes

Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks,
Rob

Rob-
This pot has a similar texture to my wife's pots (but hers are all porcelain). I don't have a pic of her stuff at the moment. Nice usage of the technique.

Good looking finishes on these pots Rob.

It would appear that you have worked out some of the earlier problems you were having. Were you able to make the modifications to your gas manifold that we spoke about?

I'm glad to see that the new kiln is working out for you.

Keep up the good work.

Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul, good to hear from you.

To answer your question, yes I did alter the manifold as we discussed. If have time this week I will post some pics on my blog describing the procedure.

The kiln is currently candling, and I will be glaze firing a load of large commissions tomorrow. I have been firing every weekend since we talked last. I have been keeping good notes, and I am still amazed at all the nuances and small details that go into each firing.

What can I say, Practice, practice, practice Laughing

Take care Paul,
Rob

Hello again everyone,
I got a chance to photograph some pieces from my latest batch. Firing my gas kiln has been quite a challenge, but learning how to drive it has really taught me a lot in the world of atmospheric firing. Since my first firing, I have learned how to slow it down and speed it up, how to even out temperature, induce reduction, do a slow cooling. I spent the last few months firing large naturalistic slabs which stretch across the entire width of the kiln. Loading a kiln with these large shapes has been a challenge in itself, especially when it comes to evening out temperature.

Here is a slab from the group of 35 that I completed recently. All of the slabs are original, unique and hand formed.

Here's a few pots... - Page 7 2010-110

I spent some time exploring textures and surface shapes on these slabs. There is more written on my blog about them.

Last week I finally got back to firing simpler pots to fire. Ovals and rounds allow the flame path to flow better in the kiln and the temperature evens out better between the top and bottom shelves.

Here is a medium sized oval with moderate reduction. The photo does not pick up the oranges and grey hues that the reduced atmosphere brought out in the copper glaze.

I like seeing the same glaze over different colored stains. When I originally dipped the pot in the stain bath, some of the iron dripped on the side. The use of the copper glaze over the spill of red iron stain gave the glaze an interesting purple gray sheen.

Here's a few pots... - Page 7 2010-113

Well, I am hoping someone else likes these nuances too.

Comments anyone?

Good looking pots Rob.

I can see that you are having fun with your new kiln.

As you are discovering, copper is a fun element to work with in a reduction atmosphere. You can produce wide variety of effects and colors depending on how you fire the kiln.

I look forward to seeing your new work this weekend.

Cheers,
Paul
