Technique
This bowl was made on a pottery wheel and shaped with a wooden tool called a rib. The textured area on the exterior of the bowl was created with a metal tool called a chattering tool. Only the smooth surfaces of the bowl were glazed and the remainder was left untreated. The bowl is fired to 1,850° F and then placed into an air tight container with sawdust and newspaper. This procedure is called a reduction burn because the flames consume or reduce the oxygen in the container. This causes the flames to seek out the chemically bonded oxygen in the clay and glaze. The result is untreated clay becomes black from the reduction burn. The finished bowl is left with an interesting appearance in contrast between the glossy and matte areas and the contrast of the smooth and textured area.
Clay: White Stoneware
Glaze: Lustrous Copper
Fired: Raku, (oxidation burn - propane gas), (reduction burn - saw dust and newspaper)
This bowl is for decorative use only.
