Like most potters, I live for the gems that come out of the kilns.
One of my major problems is that the surfaces that I enjoy exploring are surfaces that are...
well, a bit crunchy.
These are 4 works that came out of the last kiln load underfired... The longer that I look at and handle these though, the more I absolutely love them as they sit. The unexpected edges engage the hands as they are handled and visually I enjoy the look of an object that looks like it's been stressed but now appears relaxed.
Personally, I can relate to that.

These look absolutely stunning! Are they food safe even if underfired? The texture screams out for touching...Love them :)

I prefer this surface too! I´m traying to do something like this at my eletric kiln and it´s hard to have this kind of result...It´s amazing!
Whoa! gifts from the fire gods! They are so interesting and they don't look underdone - they look exactly right! beautiful!
I like! I would love to see up close.
These are delish! I especially like the two in the center.
These are especially "crunchy"! Love it!
It looks like the liner on the cup is nice and smooth... nice contrast.
