Fish Shoal Luminary in Carbon Trap Shino - Reduction-fired
Wheel-thrown luminary. The clay has been carved free-hand to create dancing light patterns. Simply place the luminary over a tealight candle or LED light and watch the patterns light up the walls.
This luminary is glazed in a carbon trap shino and fired in a gas kiln, in a reduction atmosphere. By controlling the amount of oxygen the kiln receives, unique and highly varied results can be achieved, resulting in distinctive colours and textures and speckles. With this shino glaze, carbon (soot) is trapped in the glaze earlier during the firing with the desired effect being grey spotting or shadowing among the warm orange tones.
If using a tealight , make sure to place the luminary on a non-flammable surface. The luminary may get hot to the touch, but this is OK, it has been fired to over 1200 ºC, just mind your fingers!
