Shino

 The color of Shino ranges from cream to dark red.  Shino glazes often exhibit crazing lines and may appear nearly transparent.  This is the result of its high sodium content, usually from the addition of soda ash.  These fracture lines, called “crazing” are formed when the glaze cools.
 

Forms

Robert’s pottery focuses on form and process rather than decoration.  He feels a strong but simple form, offers as much to the eye as painted patterns.  This belief results in pieces which are thrown and then altered.
 His altered forms are finished in a manner which takes advantage of the firing process. Effects such as “flashing” from wood firing, or “fluxing” from salt glazing, which produce patterns impossible to achieve with a paint brush.
