XL soda bellied pot

Extra large bellied pot with a flared rim, line detail on the inner rim and a smooth base featuring waved banding and a sodium silicate crackle glaze body which has ben patterned and stretched on the wheel. Soda fired showing beautiful greens in the glaze and natural patterning.

In this atmospheric firing technique a soda and salt mix is introduced into the traditional Beehive kiln at high temperatures. The salt helps to disperse the soda more evenly over the pots in the large kiln. The mix vapourises in the kiln and combines with the silica in the clay to create naturally forming patterns on the pots giving each piece a truly unique style. Colour variations are achieved from the pot placement within the kiln, those high on the stacks getting a heavy soda flash resulting in green tones and those towards the base of the kiln resulting in a more buff earthy brown. With many beautiful shades in between, the kiln ultimately having the final say on the finished look of each pot.
