Copper Green

Copper, when used in glazes that are wood fired, can create wonderful effects.

Glazes that contain copper react to the ash and the kiln’s atmosphere
 producing a wide range of colors such as metallic black,
  penny green, red & fuchsia.

 

 

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.
