as well as the first addition of the indie mag--Hamaka magazine for pottery

About Smoke Firing
Smoke firing is done in a metal can or in a pit. l use sawdust, wood, salts, oxides, herbs, flowers, horse hair and manure. The pots are burnished in 4 different stages to make a smooth surface. They fire for 10-12 hours. When finished the vessels are then polished with paste wax. There is no glaze on these vessels, the colour is from the fire and additives. The smoke fired work is not food or water safe.
