Lovely woodfired pots from the Oregon coast:
Todays pics are from artist Amy Hankins who spends half of her year in up in Alaska and half on the Oregon coast. A beautiful mix if you ask me.
In her words: I’ve just finished participating in my first wood firing at the Astoria Dragon Kiln, a traditional Anagama built in 1983 in Astoria, Oregon. I am very much drawn to the wood fire aesthetic, the look, the feel, the community to fire. During this process I’ve realized that I have been on the wrong path! So, I guess when this happens you just change your shoes for the new path and see what lies ahead!
(we’ve all been there Amy!)
I do mostly live in Alaska but spend the winters here on the Oregon coast for the Dungeness crab fishery that our boat participates in. The great thing about coming here for the winter is that yes, I eat a lot of crab but I have to opportunity to continue my ceramics education at the local Community College, something we don’t have nearby in Alaska.
The pictures above are a cup from this last firing with a shino glaze on the inside and a ground local clay ongobe on the outside, I’m showing three pictures of the same cup. The second is a lidded jar, shino glaze, thrown as one piece and then split at leather hard stage. And these below are new additions:
Thanks Amy!
