Shino
The color of Shino ranges from cream to dark red. Shino glazes often
exhibit crazing lines and may appear nearly transparent.
This is the result of its high sodium content, usually from the addition of
soda ash. These fracture lines, called “crazing” are formed when the glaze
cools.
This piece reflects how natural ash will freckle the milky white Shino glaze.
The glaze tends to go a golden brown where thin, as shown near
the foot of
this jug, with an added spout.

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.
