While talking with a number of younger artists, I realized that many were not aware of what Studio Potter is and the role it has played in the clay community. Through this video, I wanted to share what this publication is about and what it means personally to me.
Studio Potter is a nonprofit sustained by memberships and donations. We’re currently in our annual drive to reach $10,000—if this publication has meant something to you, I hope you’ll consider supporting and helping it grow into its next chapter.

Six months ago, around the time of Texas Clay Festival, I began exploring crackle slip on plates as an alternative to my usual brushwork. Ideas often come quickly when you’re on a show deadline—but rarely with the time or space to fully explore them. Still, I gave in to the impulse and took a chance on a few pieces.
When I pulled them out of the kiln, I knew the idea wasn’t fully resolved. It felt unfinished—half-formed.
So when my dear friends and fellow clay artists, Gaye Lynn and Michael showed interest in those plates, I felt a bit unsettled. How could I let them take pieces where the idea hadn’t been fully realized?
Their response shifted something in me.
They said there was something magical about seeing work in the midst of exploration. That while an artist may eventually arrive at pieces that feel complete, these in-between moments—the tentative, uncertain ones—carry the story of that journey in a way nothing else can.
It was a powerful lesson. One I now find myself appreciating in the work of others. Thank you Gaye Lynn and Michael for always teaching me new things in the sweetest of ways.
These plates come from that space—of searching, of not quite knowing, and of allowing the process to unfold.
I will be and studio
From that point on, I said goodbye to the coiled foot and have been making the Oki Doki foot ever since. It’s one of my favorite things about teaching: I often get as much, if not more, from the experience as the participants do.

Read on for information about the process.
These pieces were saggar fired in an electric kiln. If you would like to learn more about this process I will suggest book called Saggar firing in an Electric Kiln". It gave me a good fundamental understanding about the process which was a great starting point for my personal exploration.
Images 1 to 6 are made with a low fire clay white/red clay, bisqued to cone 06 and then saggar fired to 07.
Images 7 to 11 were made with a mid fired black clay, first saggar fired to get some markings and then glazed and fired to cone 6 oxidation.
Some FAQs:
Why am I using an electric kiln when I could fire it in a pit /raku?
I don't have a raku kiln so that option doesn't exist for me. As for pit firing, living in Texas we find ourselves perpetually under outdoor burn ban so I had to explore this option of firing in an electric kiln.
Do I get smoke in my studio and how does it impact the elements?
My kiln is well vented so I haven't ever seen smoke but I can definitely smell something burning so I fire the kiln when I am not in the studio. As for the elements, I am keeping a firing log with the program and the firing time, to study the long term impact of this process on elements. According to Jolanda, if one steers clear of salts then the impact on the kiln is minimal. I have now done about 130 firings and the firing time hasn't changed even by a minute. Another artist from Belgium who has done this for years mentioned that saggar firing at lower temperatures has minimal to no perceptible impact on the elements and so far I concur.
What combustibles do I use?
Mostly hay, wood shavings and some saw dust.
Is the surface food safe?
I seal my low fire saggar fired pieces with. According to their website, this sealer, when used in accordance with their instructions, makes for a perfectly sealed surface deemed food safe by stringent European standards. (They have detailed information available on their website) That said I still prefer to use it only for dry snacks.
Hope this information helps.
