Studies of Wood Firing: Digital Grain, 2025

Porcelain and Stoneware

Xiamen, China

This work continues my exploration of Digital Grain, combining the traditional Ling Long glaze technique with contemporary 3D printing. Through wood firing to 1300°C, the glaze, which is traditionally soft and translucent, transforms into a crystalline, glass-like surface, revealing its potential in wood firing. Created during my artist residency in Xiamen, China, the piece is paired with a second porcelain form that displays traditional wood-firing effects such as fire flashing, highlighting a dialogue between modern innovation and traditional glaze and firing techniques.
