Julie Crosby
Starting with a stoneware clay body, I use the potter’s wheel to make basic forms. The forms are hand finished during the leather hard stage. The pots come into direct contact with flame, ash and salt inside my wood burning kiln. Various tones are brought out in the clay due to the constant oscillation of atmosphere created by the stoking cycle.
