LAVA
2024

Breaking the rules of ceramics and risking to fire low temperature material at 1200 degrees.

Materials: gres, low temperature clay body.
All ceramics know that you should not fire low temperature clay bodies at high temperatures, because it will become lava and destroy your kiln.

I broke the ceramics rules! This vase was created in coil techniques mixing Italian "Faenza" earthenware clay body and stoneware one and firing it at 1200 degrees. This way the low temperature clay has broken the stoneware walls becoming green-ish lava.
