John Thies
Pottery is an all embracing life absorbing passion for me. I have been firing exclusively with wood for over 30 years and find that the challenge of the firing is what drives me. Using my 3 chamber wood kiln allows me the freedom to make a full range of pots without limitation to size, finished surface, body color or quantity. The efficiencies of my kilns and various other techniques I've developed to ease the workload allow me to invest minimal labor thus yielding maximum output. I like my work to have simple designs then allow the fire to finish the pieces with the warm earth tones, natural flame patterns and ash deposits it brings. -- John Thies
