Salt Glazed Texture

Salt glazing is a process where pots are engulfed in a sea of sodium vapors and fire.

Salt is introduced into the kiln at 2000 degrees, releasing sodium which fluxes silica and alumina in the clay body.  This action creates a unique glaze.

 The entire process is called "vapor glazing

Shell Pattern

        The texture on the underside of this pot is the result of how Robert cut it free from the potters wheel.  Utilizing a twisted cord (one Robert made for this process) he drags the cord under the freshly thrown pot as the wheel is slowing rotating.  This separates the pot from the wheel head and produces this vibrant shell like pattern.
