My next firing of the Ramsey Anagama Kiln will be in April! I am preparing the wood now so that it can rest while I make work in my studio next to the wood stove all Winter.

- Adena, OH, United States
- Benjamin, who is from the Pacific coast of Oregon, creates wood-fired pottery with a steady, focused patience resonating of his home. He was trained to search out and incorporate local materials into all aspects of the process of making his work. Wood-fired work involves a long, intense process and originated in Korea, Japan and China. The last 50 years has seen a new movement in the western areas to practice this very old art form with a new voice. Locally, there is an abundance of clay and wood. Since moving to the area, he has been intrigued by the faded presence of the old pottery industries along the Ohio River and in the hills.
