What makes a pot good? Ceramics is a form of non verbal communication. Like sculpture, functional pottery can be experienced visually. However, a pot also speaks to us through the way it feels in our hands. The synergistic experience of weight, color, texture, reveals a truth to us; that is a good pot. When you first handle a piece of pottery, you can see the maker's hands shaping the pot and the fire's touch. These sensations connect us to the journey the clay has made. So begins the relationship between the user and the ware. Pressing your lips against a favorite mug full of warm liquid is an intimate moment that serves as a daily reaffirmation of that relationship.
Wood-firing is an ancient process: a product of thousands of years of history and innovation. Firing with wood requires close connection between potter and process. Wood-firing results in a product that is as unique as it is beautiful. Each pot speaks of its form and experience. Good wood-fired work is alive with subtlety. -- Simon Levin

Medium Bowl B
2" tall X 7 1/2" in diameter
Sometimes I see things in the photographs that I missed when I took the picture and actually had the pot in my hands. Such is the case on this bowl. I was so caught up looking at the interior and exterior, that I missed that "slit" around the rim until I was processing the side view. It's quite remarkable. A tiny little slit that splits the rim ever so slightly all the way around.
