The pots themselves have a more natural and primitive feel than
the highly technical pieces a potter usually produces. Each piece
tells its own story of how it was caressed by the flame and wood
ash flowing together through the pots stacked in the chamber, the
ash forming its own blushes and flashes of colour as it progressively 
settles on the pieces.
Many of the most interesting pots are not glazed at all. Those
that are glazed have been developed and tested in this type
of firing. They are the ones that Larry suspected would be
enhanced by the interactions within the kiln, with constant
alternation between oxidation and reduction. The wood was
loaded approximately every 10 minutes.
“The possibilities are literally infinite.” 

Gordon Hutchens Studio on Denman Island is where these pots were fired, to us potters we feel that 
Gordon is  our local authority on the Wood firing journey!
We have learned so much from this brilliant man!
