(3/3) Inkwell Woodfired Vase
We designed our Inkwell vase with intimacy in mind. The size of this vase makes it the perfect addition to any table where smaller bouquets are in order. Style it on its own, or couple it with our larger vases to create dramatic and unique centerpieces.
Handmade and then hand fired in the down-draft wood kiln, Bisbee (2024).
__________________
Woodfiring is a specialized and labor-intensive form of ceramic firing in which wood is the only fuel used to heat the kiln. The kiln is stoked entirely by hand for the duration of the firing which can last up to a week and a half (day and night) reaching temperatures of ~2400 degrees Fahrenheit, (Cone 12).
The ceramic surfaces achieved through woodfiring are the combined effect of the flame and ash inside the kiln interacting with the clay. The shape and size of the kiln, how the pots are arranged inside the kiln, and how it is tended to during the firing all have a tremendous effect on the final results.
Each wood-fired piece is thus completely unique and functions as a record of its environment during the firing—a window into the kiln during that particular moment in time; both an artifact and a treasure.
