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

glazed with titanium ash glaze, nuka and carbon trapping shinos. All
pieces are assembled and altered while soft on the wheel. |
