Elemental. Organic. One-of-a-Kind.
Wood Fired Pottery
Lucketts, Virginia
“Beauty can be found in nature’s predictable yet unpredictable patterns. The beauty of the wood fired process is the creation of a one-of-a-kind piece of work that can never be replicated in its entirety due to the chaotic flux of the fire. Chaos, in essence, is order disguised within disorder and such is the wood fired process. Utilizing elements of nature including raw earthen clay, ash glaze, wood, and fire, we produce organically based art forms. We believe strongly in the experience of interaction between humans and art forms, as art in its earliest creations was interwoven with daily life. Wood Fired Pottery focuses on functional wares for the home and garden to achieve these ideals.”
