Stoneware vase fired in the Glencairn Anagam kiln. My long time friend and fellow potter Marcus O’Mahony fires a large woodfired Anagama in Glencairn near Lismore in Co, Waterford. I usually include some of my pots in every firing of this kiln which is fired twice yearly. The work that emerges is never predictable. The kiln was especially kind to this pot.

My story
I made my first pot in 1970. It was made with coils and instruction from a book. It fell apart as it dried. Since that time I have been trying to improve my technique.
