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

Celadon Glaze
Celadon is an ancient glaze in which a small amount iron is used as
a colorant.
These glazes are usually transparent and vary in color from light
gray to deep green.
Celadon glazes are frequently used over incised surfaces,
where the glaze can pool and exhibit a darker color.
