  • Robin DuPont Firing Anagama Kiln
    The Reluctant Kiln Builder

    Following the Materials
    Matt Fishman
    By working through puzzles such as building a kiln, a better understanding of the underlying physical principles inherent in our craft is developed, as is a working relationship with materials and the firing process.

    From Scrap to Soda Kiln
    Erica Davidson and Jeremy Noet
    We were interested in directional effects – similar to an anagama – temperature differences that would allow for multiple clay bodies, different flames in different areas that we thought a longer cross-draft kiln would provide.

In This Issue – A Year Begun on an Open Page

Every new issue of Studio Potter begins the same way, with a blank page. I love the moment of a blank page, in life as much as in publishing, because it holds the duality of invitation and accountability. A blank page asks us to stay open to uncertainty and to resist the urge to fill… Read More
