Pit-Firing and Pottery

I had an idea that I would make some clay pots and place them on the steps of my ladders along with some photos. I then thought of the idea of placing my pots into a pit fire, which will leave the pottery with a unique finished.

This is a pit fire.....

I would really love to try this out

These are examples of pottery that have been in pit fires;



They have an amazing finish to them.

I find this picture really effective. Its like the start of a journey.

Nature and landscapes could be my starting point to create my subject matter.

First Thoughts

Step Ladders



I thought I could use a step ladder for my alternative sketchbook, I could place objects on the steps and have images/paintings/drawings attached with string/ribbon onto the ladder.

It could either be an old fashioned wooden one or maybe a new updated metal one.

Any Thoughts?????
