Pilgrim Jug
The term “Pilgrim Pot” is a
reference to pieces from ancient cultures that were used as transportation
jugs or "Canteens".
Pilgrim pots have a wide range of designs reflecting the personality of the
potter and the local culture. |

Wad Marks
Sodium (salt
glazing), and fly ash (wood firing), create glaze on the pots, and on kiln
shelves where the pots sit.. Wadding prevents pots, in a wood firing and
salt glazing, from fusing to the kiln shelves.
The size, shape and materials used for wadding,
are important aesthetic considerations for the potter. In addition to
preventing pots from fusing to shelves, wadding acts as a color resist and
leaves flame flashing patterns |
