Fire glazed pots on display
AT CLAYSHAPES Gallery on Sunday, Bruce and Estelle Martin open a special showing of their anagama fired pots.
Anagama is a Japanese technique which combines the basic elements of clay, water and fire. The pots are not glazed in the normal manner, but fired in a huge kiln over a period of ten days continuously. The result is an amazing depth of colour and quality which cannot be duplicated.
The exhibition of the Martins’ pots continues at Clayshapes until September 4.
