.Woodfired and reduction cooled in a Train Kiln at The Oki Doki Studio, in Germantown, NY.
Handbuilt, using a method of stacking thin, pinched coils, this piece has a wonderfully tactile surface. The rhythm of a pinched and coil piece is slow, both visually and literally. Quiet undulations and intentional pinch marks give the piece an intimate and vulnerable presence. Strong on its own, the vessel also asks to be used as a vase filled with flowers or as a service vessel for wine.
I coat all my woodfired pieces with mineral oil, this helps to saturate the surfaces and gives the pieces a luminosity. As you use your woodfired piece they notice the surface beginning to look dry, this is the pot asking to re-oiled, think if it as in invitation to spend time with and build a relationship with the piece.
