John Commane

The ceramics on display have been slip cast and subsequently bisque fired.   A glaze firing follows using two very different techniques.  

The first is the ancient Japanese technique called Raku.   The glaze formula results in a shiny coloured finish during the gas firing. The crazed black lines (of varying intensity) are the hallmark of this process.

The second is a barium glaze firing using an electric kiln.  Initially the surface of the pottery is coated with copper oxide. A coat of barium glaze is then added, before firing.  The finish is a matt blue/purple surface.
