firing again – quick recap | Skye wood fire

https://skyewoodfire.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/firing-again-quick-recap

Wood firing and raku firing ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Firing again – quick recap. Enough of Japan (for now) back to wood firing and the new kiln, built last year. I meant to start writing this with the laying of the first course of bricks but I put it on Facebook instead. I found it hard to picture the whole build so drip feeding into FB was easier. First wood kiln, Phoenix type design and so easy to fire. Trying to decide upon the best kiln for this exposed site on the Isle of Skye took a long time.

Juliet Macleod: studio potter. Wednesday, 3 August, 2016. Each year we head to the Outer Isles for a family holiday. Whatever the weather we always have the best of times, and this year was no exception. Most days were spent on the beach, with my husband and girls investigating rock pools, the dog going mad in the sand and me soaking up as much of it as I can. I also finally remembered to bring some pots with me to shoot amongst the landscape that inspired them…. Ceramic Art and Pottery. Life of a potter.

Skye Wood Fire: April 2012

http://skyewoodfire.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Patricia Shone's adventures with wood firing ceramics, on and off the Isle of Skye. After many years of making raku fired pots and functional earthenware I built a small wood fired kiln in the garden in 2009. This is a diary of the firings. The pots can be seen on my website www.patriciashone.co.uk. Its not pretty but it survived the night of wind and rain. Links to this post. And Julia has a building company. In other words lots of theory but no experience. The arch came down, at least that bit was easy.

Wood firing and raku firing ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Buying pots, continued. We fell out of the gallery Toko with our purchases, like drunkards looking for the another bar, which happened to be on the other side of the road in the form of Moegi, another gallery. A modern building on three floors with a central atrium surrounding a maple tree, just beginning to turn in colour. Porcelain dish, by Misa, w 11cm. Potter unknown 13 x 9 cm. February 10, 2014.

Wood firing and raku firing ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Wood fired and raku fired ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Shiny new raku kiln. 18 years ago I returned to potting, and myself and my Non Potting Partner built a raku kiln from an old oil drum. I thought it would do whilst I worked out what I wanted to make and how I wanted to fire. Castro kiln has finally been retired and put out to graze, there he is, out in the sunshine.

Once, when I was going through a difficult time in my life, someone said to me, 'Everything must pass. Nothing remains the same.' This was not just a disaster for Japan, but for the whole world.

Mashiko part 3, actually buying pots | Skye wood fire

https://skyewoodfire.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/mashiko-part-3-actually-buying-pots

Wood firing and raku firing ceramics on the Isle of Skye. Mashiko part 3, actually buying pots. Pot number 1, a small tenmoku dish from Hamada Museum, for my good friend who drove me to Aberdeen airport at 5am to catch my flight to London to connect with the Narita flight. No photo of this. At this early stage of my visit there was no question, the bowl remained and the vase came home, fulfilling all the criteria elegantly. Pots number 3 and 4, pressed tenmoku dish, shino glazed tokkuri. January 30, 2014.
