> Bean began to develop both a style and way of working that is
> uniquely his. Because he like the sheen that Native American
> potters achieved by sealing the surface of a fired pot by
> rubbing it with an animal skin impregnated with fat, he adapted
> the process first by using linseed oil and now paste urethane
> to accomplish that effect. There has been a similar evolution
> from 'proper' ceramic behavior in his application of colour
> after firing. First Bean used ochre, which was acceptable,
> and then experimented with various paints before settling on
> acrylic in 1982.
