I'm about to show you some baskets that are influenced by the work of ken
Matsuzaki. They were fired in the firemouth of our wood kiln and have a
thick feldspar finger wipe decoration on them. Yeah Lee, i have been high
firing long enough to see something and be able to come close. this was an
18 hour firing and not 7 days like m- K.
David h has the nerve to do a workshop on woodfiring being brown. I need to
educate that young gaffer. Clay colour blue which ought to please Joe Q
Public.

I've been experimenting too, using different layered shinos
made of different feldspars, on both leather and bisque. Matsuzaki
uses three types of feldspars: hiratsu, Indian and yagumo feldspars.
Will be in the next firing (I've made 75 tests, now glazing the
rest of the work.) What I am really interested in, is doing this
without soda ash with Hank's cooldown and holding at 1850. Need to
fabricate my oil drip burners. Burning wood again after cooling to
1850 would be a bad idea.

When I saw David's article I knew I agreed, because my
woodfired work is not brown. Also, there is more than blue and copper
red for work not to be brown. And you don't have to glaze woodfired
work for it not to be brown.
