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
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, produce patterns impossible to achieve
with a paint brush. |

Wood Ash & Flashing
When wood firing, the
pots literally sit in a river of flames. Wood ash carried by the
flames, has a profound effect on a pot’s surface.
Pottery that has been
covered with a glaze prior to firing is enriched by the sodium, which
is a component of wood ash. Fly ash may leave a freckled pattern on
the surface of any glazed pot.
