Ceramic glaze macro, kiln-fired surface geology

Available for hire

Wood-fire ceramicist who photographs glaze surfaces under extreme magnification. Each glaze is a geological event: ash deposits, iron crystal blooms, copper reduction flashes. A tea bowl's surface at 50x magnification looks like a planet. Has a library of 2,000 glaze test tiles.
