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.

  1. Stunning pots...come up with some designs and then next week you could get making. They will take a while to dry out...in the meantime you can start building a pit at home!! Great work!
