The colour moves from soft browns and tans at the bottom of the vase, to a creamy white slip at the top. There are areas of ash glaze and fly ash. The clay is stoneware with feldspar chip inclusions. The pot was wheel thrown and was placed on sea shells and fired to 1,320°C in a woodfire kiln.

This pot was thrown on the wheel without a base, it was then altered into a rectangular shape, and a base was added together with a coiled top opening. A neck was added and feet cut into the bottom. The piece was then salt-glazed in an area of the kiln with minimum salt exposure. This results in an attractive dry orange surface colour, contrasted with blue celadon glaze pours. The clay is grogged stoneware.

This lidded pot was thrown on the wheel. The top quarter of the pot was pushed in, resulting in a distinctive division and bulge to the form, to form the lid gallery. This shape is sometimes known as a Gourd. The tone of the base colour is a dark chestnut and areas of thick white slip have been applied in spontaneous marks. A tan orange was also applied. Wood ash and fly ash from the firing have added green tones to the form. It was wood fired to 1,320°C.

This classically shaped vase rises from a narrow base to a wide shoulder and narrow neck. Its vibrant colour of red, orange and tan derives from the applied slips and salt-glazed process. It was fired on its side sitting on three sea shells. This prevents the pot from sticking to the kiln shelf but it also creates an area of the pot that resists the effects of the salt or salting, resulting in an area of intense colour. Ash and fly-ash from the burning wood also contribute to the green tones. The clay is iron bearing stoneware and the piece is wood-fired to 1,300°C in a salt kiln.

This large, full-formed vase rises from a narrow base to a wide shoulder with a narrow neck. It was wheel thrown using stoneware clay containing grog and feldspar chips. It was shaped using textured paddles to accentuate the wide shoulder. Its colour is a rich dark chestnut with contrasting areas of a yellow/ orange slip. The pot was also decorated with spontaneous drawing. It was wood fired in a salt kiln and was placed out of the direct path of the salt, resulting in a dry, matt and earthy surface. It was fired to 1,320°C.
