Thanks for the insight Lee, I find it very interesting... maybe
that's why I'm drawn to wood firing aesthetics. I guess is a bit
like scales in classical music (industry) vs. scales in jazz (or any
art with a more organic/improvisational approach for that matter).
In the first case everything is written out but you can create
beauty by the freedom of letting your self go expressing what's on
the page, sort of like reading a poem out loud. Is the beauty of
watching concepts grow in a sincere attempt to get to the essence of
things. In the case of Jazz you let your rough emotions interact
with the poly-dimensional space agreed on as it goes around time and
time again twirling and dispersing all its elements the same way
organisms are pulled, at the same time, by an instinctual drive to
live while nature reminds of what inevitably lies ahead. Is the
beauty of letting oneself feel/be amidst the universe's flow.
The "imperfections" reminds us that even though we need coherent
ideas to thrive ahead=85 "ahead" is just a bubble we create to travel
for a while in this re/flux sea we call universe=85. eternity=85 G/god?
I love classical music and immensely enjoy the simplicity of some
industrial designs, but at heart I'm an Improvisational head! It
seems there are many ways of developing the discipline of not
letting oneself in the way of what clay/music/art/life is trying to
tell us=85 The other day I was watching Pablo Casals (on a film
documentary) speak about Bach's music, human bigotry and peace=85 it
brought tears to my eyes. I think if the way this world has turned
out to be has taught me something is that empathy should be at the
heart of ideas/actions=85
Haha, I don't know if that makes any sense but that was what went
through my head while reading you post=85.
Now back to my original question, I think I didn't phrase it
correctly what I wanted to know was why single firing makes those
big porcelain platters survive the firing without cracking. I feel
I'm missing a piece of information when I read that more heat in the
bisque helps the big ware stand the glaze firing and at the same
time it would also survive the firing if you skip the bisque step
all together=85 but like I said I'm new to matter discussed.
thanks again,
Sincultura
