A collection of pieces made by Karl that take inspiration from the beginnings of Errington Reay pottery in 1878 and the Victorian industrial era. Incorporating ideas founded on the textile, steel and coal production at the time which all played an instrumental part in the pottery's history.
The ER pottery is sited and still works from the former woollen mill, with the production of textiles represented in this sculptural piece. The organic form shows the free flowing movement of fabric with a central seam running down the middle. The heavy masculine details of rivets, ripped and folded edges incorporate the heavy steel banding and bolts that hold our kiln in place. This handthrown and manipulated vessel has intense dark salt glazed patterning enhanced by a special slip produced in house and has been finished in our coal fired Beehive kiln with a borax glazed base inside.

Extra large bellied pot with a flared rim, line detail on the inner rim and a smooth base featuring waved banding and a sodium silicate crackle glaze body which has ben patterned and stretched on the wheel. Soda fired showing beautiful greens in the glaze and natural patterning.
In this atmospheric firing technique a soda and salt mix is introduced into the traditional Beehive kiln at high temperatures. The salt helps to disperse the soda more evenly over the pots in the large kiln. The mix vapourises in the kiln and combines with the silica in the clay to create naturally forming patterns on the pots giving each piece a truly unique style. Colour variations are achieved from the pot placement within the kiln, those high on the stacks getting a heavy soda flash resulting in green tones and those towards the base of the kiln resulting in a more buff earthy brown. With many beautiful shades in between, the kiln ultimately having the final say on the finished look of each pot.
