Porcelain pottery bowls with the thinnest wall, covered with celadon glaze with cobalt and ash deposits of wood burning. By the shades of the glaze, you can see the path of fire — how the flame flowed
Wood firing is always a collaboration and co-authorship with the element of fire. Constant dialogue and trust in each other. If this contact does not occur, then the result may not meet the artist’s expectations. Only with harmonious co-creation, unique and exclusive objects come out of the wood-firing kiln.
Working with ceramics is working with eternity. Porcelain is a very complex and characteristic material for pottery. However, only porcelain gives the fineness and strength of the vessel wall, and also withstands maximum firing temperatures of about 1300 degrees. After such hardening, porcelain objects become virtually eternal, can be passed down from generation to generation, and in the future for millennia can be found by archaeologists as the main evidence of human existence.
