The Smoker you get the Player you Smoke?
(with apologies to Joe Walsh)
T he norm with wood-firing is to focus on the action of the fire on the
pots. The journey from plasticity to rigidity is affected by the
build-up of ash from the fire, the effects of the flame on the pots, or
the passage of the flame through the kiln.
I am as guilty as the next of obsessing about some of these things.
After over 35 years of working with my wood-fire kiln I would like to
focus more on the way wood fire has affected, and continues to affect,
my life and the symbiotic relationship that seems to have developed.

the craft of ceramics. This may seem obvious but the power of his work
is its dedication to a tradition and a technique that is thousands of
years old1 in the service of new ways of examining the volume and
surface of hand-built forms.

and enthusiastic people – calm and compassionate therapists from all
