Gallery group show Heavenly Vessels, June 2005 We are a husband and wife team who maintain a full-time studio in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
The current direction in our pottery is in exploring the primitive and mysterious act of creativity, to strip away all the trappings of the modern world and return to the basic elements of fire, earth, water and air. The relation of surface and form is important in each of our vessels. Our shapes come from an ancient and universal family of rounded forms. By applying the process of exploration and refinement to these forms, we are essentially exploring their mystery and meaning through the ritual of their creation. Our vessels are made from a natural, unrefined yellow clay. Each piece is wheel-thrown, burnished and then coated with terra sigillata. After firing, the pots are wet sanded to remove any residue, allowed to dry and then coated with a natural tung oil varnish to protect the surface and enhance the coloration.

J. Randall Smith Art Gallery and Studio. Pinterest. Great Mid Range Pottery Glazes. The benefits of firing underglazed pottery (mainly children's work) is that the end result is much more durable than low fired projects.
We really wanted the projects to last for generations remembering how our parents and grandparents cherished our school ceramic work. We therefore, fire all of our work and our students work to cone 6 including underglazes. We learned that the majority of underglazes do not yield good and expected results and not all clear glazes interact favorably with underglazes.
Most underglazes and most clear glazes will cause blistering, fade or change colors. After numerous tests, we are satisfied with the results and been using those select few colors listed in the table below successfully. See children's underglazed cone 6 projects.

Toner decals over top (refired to cone 01). Maybe the secret to blogging more is writing less? I dunno, but I start writing a blog post, something that I think will be short and quick, and it turns into something 10 times longer and requires proofing. Maybe it’s something like what Kyle Houser mentioned on his blog yesterday, “anonymity with selling my work online” combined with solitude in the studio, make me one chatty dude. But the thing is, I’ve been doing a ton of programming the last few months, it’s been awhile since I’ve written this much code, and I noticed one thing: I become anti-social when I am in ‘programming mode’. Flick the switch, throw some pots, fire the kiln, apply some decals, and low and behold I am Mr. There I go again, 2 paragraphs written and I haven’t even mentioned what this blog post is about…. lets get to it shall we?
For the past few years my main glaze has been Malcomb’s Shino.
