woody no. 10

-statement-

Our work is intuitive and natural. The surface of our wood soda fired work is a direct reflection of the atmospheric firing process. The flames speak for themselves, as they decorate each vessel with beautiful unpredictable nuances. We think of our work as a way to celebrate the unsung heroes of nature's landscapes. By carefully selecting dark iron rich clay bodies and through the application of clay slips and shino glazes the fired results are reminiscent of outcrops, escarpments and road cuts.  We find tranquility in the rustic.

Our focus is on independent, working artists and with a diversity of objects, styles, backgrounds and cultures—curated with the optimistic and eclectic eye that makes UPPERCASE publications so unique. 

​With profiles of 46 contemporary studio potters and ceramicists, illustrated with beautiful photography of their work and studio, Volume C: Ceramics is a gorgeous and informative addition to your Encyclopedia of Inspiration library."
