Planter: Juicy Marbled Soda (Large)
This juicy planter was made with marbled clay and soda fired.
5.5”h x 8”w
These marbled vessels are such a delight to make and such a long process to get there. I stain the porcelain several different colors with mason stains then lightly wedge them together and leave them for a week so the clays can acclimate to the same moisture level . Then I add marbled slices and coils to my clay to throw on the wheel. I then trim or scrape the entire piece to reveal the swirling, unpredictable patterns.
Each soda fired piece is one-of-a-kind as atmospheric firings are unpredictable and can yield stunning results. Soda firing takes an enormous amount of time, energy, labor and resources and is usually a community effort. In the soda firing process, soda ash is introduced to the atmosphere of the kiln when it is near peak temperature. The sodium vapor interacts with the clay, slips and glazes to create swirling unpredictable colors that shift and change around the piece.
