Painting in Flame Sculpture

I have been developing my own methods of Saggar firing for the last 4 years, exploring materials and firing methods to create new and delicious surfaces that mimic nebulae. I use high quality Mino porcelain for its refined, creamy texture, which allows it to absorb minute details from the fuming process. I apply a thin coat of Terra sigillata on the leather hard surface and buff lightly before the bisque kiln. I fill my saggars with various metal salts, such as copper carbonate and cobalt carbonate to produce rich colors. In addition, I use traditional Japanese materials such as momigara and hidatsuki to burn patterns onto the surface. Work is fired at lower temperatures and is therefore only semi-vitrified, so it will leak liquids and is not considered food safe.
