A series of bitesize updates from Corranny studio resident Ceramicist
Lisa will potter about her studio and give people an insight into her practices , processes and experiments. She will be working towards the construction and use of a traditional pit firing.
Pit-fired and barrel-fired ceramics take advantage of absorbent bare clay surfaces for decorative effects. In addition to imprints from smoke, you also get fuming from the combustibles and added refined chemicals. Contemporary pit and barrel firing techniques often yield vibrant and exciting colorful designs imprinted on unglazed clay forms by dancing flames carrying fumes from specific combustible materials and chemicals.Lisa will experiment with the techniques.
