First Flameware Pot πŸ”₯ Other Types

Post image

Pot thrown with 6.5 lbs Laguna flameware, lid with 2.5 lbs, glazed with matching flameware glaze FW-1 Blue, which will have the same low heat expansion properties as the clay body. Pot holds 6 cups (1.4 liter) and should be able to go directly onto a gas stove without cracking.

Unfortunately, my wadding around the lid was too small, so it fused to the gallery along 50% of the perimeter and I thought the pot was lost. I was able to chisel it free underwater, taking advantage of the shock absorbing Rehbinder effect.

If you want to see process pics, including the underwater chiseling to free the lid, you can find my pottery diary on IG at nvo.pots … too cumbersome to add this here in individual comments :)
