Lost and Found (Thrown and altered bottle forms)
My first proper experiment with a Raku firing. I took part in a raku firing hosted by Coleg Harlech and Geoff Bond (I think it was about 2006?)

Taking part in The Reaching Heights project with Tim Pugh, Jeremy Watkins, Nerys Rowse and John Preston we decided to fire up a sawdust bin firing...... photo's to follow!!
You see.... I've bin firing (ha ha ha)
Loading metal bin with sawdust, pots and kindling.
The pots (thrown forms and some little textural disk thingies)
Shapes thrown quickly using a heavily grogged clay (crank clay)
Emptying the bin.
Hottest lucky dip ever!
Pots in kiln/ bin.
Sweet as a nut.
More photographs to follow (see what Jane can do with a soft cloth and tin of shoe polish!)
Adding the sawdust.
Jellyfish form.
Decided to make a weird black jellyfish to hang from the wall (maybe with dangling birds??)
These are the results of the Dolgellau bin firing. The white inlay effect is achieved with Briwax and shoe polish (and elbow grease)
