Year of Creation: 2007

Glaze: 80/20 copper luster, post fired 1800 degrees Fahrenheit propane

Clay Body: Laguna's WC-397, cone 5 white stoneware

Artist's Statement: My discoveries firing with post reduction, and my efforts in making pieces that have a fresh look, the unpredicted surprise results have been so much better than the initial plan. My challenge continues for developing lasting details and memorable raku glazes that will endure the test of time.
