I try to emulate how glazes were made 300 years ago and i use the wilson book inside japanese ceramics on glaze as a starting pointfor formulas. I like to keep the formulas as simple as possible. For my glazes i m using raw materials. The work is deliberately monochromatic and quiet.

The montana clay is called helmar on the right of the picture above and is from a very small mine near the archie bray foundation. I am committed to creating beautiful objects for everyday use. My practice is informed by the simplicity and honesty of folkware traditions. Charles jahn pottery address.
