Artist's Comments

My Red Vase, March 2007

- Wheel thrown
- Laguna B-Mix 10
- Burnished while leather hard
- Polished with Terra Sigilata while bone dry
- Bisque fired to Cone 08
- Fired in a foil saggar [link] with ferric chloride, horse hair, wood shavings, and sugar (we call these baked potato pots because they look like baked potatoes wrapped in foil in the kiln)
- No glaze

This is one of the two pots that I have decided to keep for myself from the Linda and Charlie Riggs workshop. The 1 horsehair that I put inside the saggar left such an amazing impact on the overall look of the pot. I put a lot of wood shavings inside the pot to turn it black. I think some of the smoke is what turned the top and shoulders somewhat black too.

This pot is not for sale. Some of the other pots in my gallery are available for sale.

My Red Vase by *lisaluera When you look at “My Red Vase” keep in mind the swirling colors and wispy patterns you see were not painted, they are burned into the piece. The path the vapor travels is random and can never be duplicated. Skill and some great luck has left :devlisaluera: with a truly one of a kind work of art.
