Examples of my stoneware pottery

Stoneware is clay in which the clay body and the glaze mature at the same temperature and become integrated.  There is a large range of firing temperatures for stoneware; I choose to fire in the mid-range described as Cone 6 (~2280F), using an electric kiln.  Firing in this range allows for predictable glaze behavior in producing oven/microwave-safe, functional pots.  The type of clay body affects the finish as significantly as the glaze.  I prefer clay with a higher level of grog to add a tactile and visual element to the pot.  These pots are made to be held and to be used.  For those interested in custom urns, please contact me for examples and timing.
