Chun Red Glaze
This ancient
Chinese glaze is unique for its ability to transform from copper green to
many variations of red.
This transformation occurs when a kiln firing is deprived of oxygen, forcing
unburned gases to seek the oxygen tied up in the glaze’s oxides.
Chun Red has a
wide range of colors,
including, burgundy, cherry, blood red and fuchsia

Forms
Robert’s pottery focuses on form
and process rather than decoration. He feels a strong but simple form,
offers as much to the eye as painted patterns. This belief results in
pieces which are thrown and then altered.
His altered forms are finished in a manner which takes advantage of the
firing process. Effects such as “flashing” from wood firing, or “fluxing”
from salt glazing, produces patterns impossible to achieve with a paint
brush
