Profile Information
- What is your experience with ceramics in general. (Long answer encouraged)
- Over 40 something years working in clay. Most of that time was high fire reduction, then soda/salt firing in the nineties to about 3 years ago when I switched to earthenware.
I did a lot of cone 6 oxidation testing in the 90's and when I can get another studio set up, which may not be for months since I'm recovering from a bad car accident and still have a house and garden to organize before I can even think about setting up a studio; but when I do, I will switch to cone 6 oxidation if I'm working at home.
- What is your current involvement with electric fired ceramics? (long answer encouraged)
- glaze testing for future work.
