Recent work from the
Notre Dame University Anagama (May 2003)
After the gas-fired warm-up of 3 days, this kiln
was woodfired from Wednesday morning to Sunday noon. What you
are seeing is all-natural ash....mostly oak and cherry wood were
burned. The piece is 14 inches tall. This is actually the view
of the backside of the piece as we were unloading... the side
away from the firebox. The front of the kiln had a quite heavy
ash depost. The clay body is a combination of my #12 and #13 (you
can find those recipes in the Ceramics
Technical article, "An Approach To Long Woodfire",
from a few years back). Both bodies have a bit of Nephelene Syenite
in them.
