All pieces are fired in wood fired anagama kilns for
three to five days, to cone 14 at the front of the kiln and cone 12
at the back. He uses the pyroplasticity of the bodies in the firebox
area to accentuate the softness of some forms. More functional pieces
are porcelain with a silica opacified ‘nuka' style glaze, these
are placed in saggars towards the rear of the kiln. Other work relies
on natural ash glazes, and flame flashing of the clay body itself.
Ben has developed several stoneware clays and porcelains which respond
directly to the atmospheres and duration of protracted wood firings
. Some of this work is partially glazed with titanium ash glaze, nuka
and carbon trapping shinos. All pieces are assembled and altered while
soft on the wheel. |
