Ash glaze

The glaze is mixed from the kiln's own ash. Hardwood ash, washed, then sieved. Nothing else is added for color.

It stays pale on a thick wall and breaks brown where the rim is thin. That line is the only decoration.

The rim takes the color. The foot stays clay.

• Stoneware, fired to cone 10.
• One coat. A second coat hides the break.
• The foot is waxed and wiped, so it does not fuse to the shelf.

The mixing bowl is the piece that shows it most clearly.
