I have some more pics to share from my recent firing. I love the new green ash glaze I made. I had a blue version then made a cream version and now this... I'm a happy guy.
Green...
Blue...
And this beautiful drip on the cream!!
And a beautiful sunrise from our deck
This might be a little hard to see,but pretty, it's a 180 degree panoramic from our deck and our driveway going down to the road on the right.
Cheers,
Bill

Re: Wood Fired Ceramics by Bill Perrine (Split-Fire Pottery)
Hi all,
I've started getting ready to fire again. I have a nice assortment of tea ware mixed in including some tea caddy's
I'll share some more as it comes.
Cheers,
Bill
I had more pics to post but this is the only one that would show up?

And while I'm back on TeaChat, thank you Debunix for your continued support! I get my inspiration from there
The other pics I tried to post last night are:debunix wrote:Lovely vistas, both ceramic and outdoors!
..and a painting commission I recently finished, 24" x 36, of a guy's river lot near here, painted mostly on location. See where those multicolored, mountain landscape chawans come from?! I have a strong love for landscapes. Hmmmm... It's been a while, I should make some more of those again, love how they come out, when they come out.

Painting and pottery. Nice.
The painting reminds me of many rivers in Michigan.
Those glazes are lovely. How is the droplet so clear and glassy?

Re: Wood Fired Ceramics by Bill Perrine (Split-Fire Pottery)
Thank you Eyvind. The drip is called "biidoro" It's a special form of "tamadare" (tama=ball, dara=running). I create a heavy ash build up and use a relatively fast cooling, to make the drips glossy. I use a combination of different woods to create the clear, light green color (different woods create different colored ash). I also find fluctuating the temperature during the firing, with the high-temperature finish and relatively fast cooling gives me the variety of surfaces I like the most.eyvind wrote:Painting and pottery.

Thanks Cory! I'm firing this kiln close to 20 hours, (13+ with the previous kiln) agitating alternating ember beds (above and then below the grate) approximately every 7-8 stokings after 1800*f when the ember beds are built up enough. More frequently when it's hot enough for the surfaces to be tacky (2100*f). This agitating gives the vertical surfaces ash. It had been collecting on the horizontal surfaces prior when the draft was slower. Then I control my ember bed depth by using different woods/combinations of woods. A lot of this I know that you already know, it's for our TC friends that may also read this.bonjiri wrote:bill

Beautiful painting, Bill. If this was Montana, I would say "A River Runs Through It!" Looks like we could walk right into it.
And looking forward to seeing the results of your firing.

Re: Wood Fired Ceramics by Bill Perrine (Split-Fire Pottery)
Thank you Chip, I enjoyed the change up and I definitely need to take advantage of all opportunities for art sales/commissions to pay the bills with. It was mostly painted "plein air" meaning on location. I made over a dozen trips for the day there to paint. Here is me on site. Early on and then approximately a month laterChip wrote:Beautiful painting, Bill. If this was Montana, I would say "A River Runs Through It!" Looks like we could walk right into it.

Back to clay...

Any chance that you will be making your wonderful paintings available (maybe via etsy) for the wider population as well?

I would be happy to discuss this further but feel I shouldn't spend more of TC's space talking about non-clay/tea related items. I was just tossing in a little something different about me for TC friends. I think some may like to know the "artist" as the "person' a little sometimes. I've always enjoyed it when I know the TChaters on a different level, whether chats on the phone, emails or meeting a TChater at a show. You guys are a part of my life.
If you would like to contact me, I can be reached at williperri@aol.com. Please put TeaChat in the subject line so it doesn't get deleted. I generally find etsy best for smaller items but now I think I should give my paintings a try. I have been painting for 39 years now and just been available through galleries and at shows. It's about time to expand again. Thanks for the idea/push!
Best,
Bill
P.S.
And as for you Mr. Moderator, thank you always, you've been a long time support!Chip wrote:Awesome Bill, thank you for sharing!

Posted in the wrong topic, brain addled by looking at one piece of teaware on the computer, with another lovely piece in my hand

Whoops, ditto!
I did remember wondering when Bill had moved... good to know he hasn't!
Edit: to remove my goof!
