The whiskey bottle is a form that has interested me for a while. It's exciting and rewarding to create a form that is used in the celebration and toasting of life's greatest events. Knowing that the piece you just created will be a part of these memories, and an integral part of the celebration, can give one a sense of meaning in this field. My bottles are wood fired in a train kiln with a natural-ash glaze. Their voluptuous forms are perfect for a wood-firing and all the color you see in the final form comes solely from the clay reacting to the ash and atmosphere of the kiln. As the flame moves around the piece, ash collects then melts down the curves of the bottle.
