This is in preparation for the smoke-firing process, more about that later... • I then partially glazed it. Next I fired it, then when it had cooled I added gold lustre to the glaze and fired it again. Now it is ready for the smoke firing! • This was done outside.

It has a really ethereal quality and every piece is totally unique. I sell my work to Galleries in the UK and also attend exhibitions. I am a selected professional member of the Craft Potters Association in the UK. • Free shipping in the UK. Very reasonable postage elsewhere.
