Crystalline pottery is the fine art of ceramics.  It is a demanding process which requires perfection and dedication.  The process starts when I throw a piece of porcelain, which is a white clay body. The white makes a beautiful backdrop for the crystals in the glaze. 

The next step is waiting until the piece is leather hard then you trim it and throw a catcher for the piece to sit upon.  The shape of the catcher is thrown in one piece with a small 4-5” wide dish with a pedestal in the center measuring exactly the size of the bottom of the pot. 

At this point the pot and catcher are allowed to dry completely, and then the two are bisque fired.  After they are fired and cool it is time to glue the pot to the catcher.  Let them sit over night then they are ready to be glazed. 

The glazing process has to be exact.  If you are off the slightest amount of an ingredient it  can make a huge difference how it comes out.  The firing is the most important of all the process. 

I grow zinc silicate macro crystals.  You can get many different results by the way you control the temp.  You have some control over the way the crystals grow by fluctuating the temp.  The final step is to remove the piece from the pedestal and grind the bottom smooth.
