Studies of Wood Firing, 2024

Wood fired porcelain and stoneware

Jingdezhen, China

‘Studies of Wood Firing’ was created during my artist residency in Jingdezhen, China, to explore and understand wood firing. I crafted porcelain and stoneware pieces to observe their effects and actively participated in the firing process to deepen my knowledge. The results reveal a range of surfaces, including oxidation and reduction, flushing, and smoky patterns shaped by the fire.
