first time doing a wood fire ❤️🔥
the high heat, flame, and ash combine to paint brilliant patches of orange and wrinkly tans across this bare, unglazed porcelain (save for the green underglaze).
before firing i had no idea what the robe would look like - it's all up to the position in the kiln and the way the flames lick across the piece during the days-long firing.
wood firings like this really capture everything i love about ceramics: the volatility, the beauty in imperfections, and the connection to primitive crafts and materials.
