Jomon

Jomon refers to an ancient style of Japanese pottery
which had a basket-like textured surface. Robert's pieces are turned on the potter’s wheel,
then, while the clay is still soft, a small rope is rolled across the pots surface to create this texture.

During the firing, glaze pools in recessed areas, and creates wonderful variations in color.

Jomon pots combine the casualness of loosely thrown pots textured pots with the best qualities of wood firing

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.
