Sanctuary Jar with Drips, crafted in 2002, stands as a testament to the captivating interplay between the potter’s hand and the kiln’s fiery breath. This 14.5″ x 10″ x 10.5″ vessel speaks volumes through its unexpected beauty, born from a 48-hour wood-firing process demanding constant attention and meticulous fuel feeding.
Placed strategically in the kiln, directly facing the flames, the jar embraced the serendipity of ash and heat. The resulting spectacle – pronounced drips cascading down its form – were not solely dictated by the potter’s will, but by the kiln’s unpredictable fire.
