Thomas Hill Pottery

Thomas Hill Pottery Thomas Hill creates pottery with the intention of exploring the natural materials surrounding us.

In this personal investigation it is his hope to sit with new questions discovered along the way and create pottery based on this time.

I am rather proud of how this piece came out. It’s got all of the fine details I was working towards in the series of work and that seafoam green is delicious in person - my favorite of the copper greens.

It’s also something to celebrate this semi-arbitrary but still exciting milestone of 100 posts of my work sharing a piece I feel satisfied with. This one will push me to continue to explore these surfaces - as I already feel it’s pull to make more to figure out what’s going on.

If you’d like to see it in person or purchase it, you can view it for a limited time in Oblivion’s gallery. ().

A follow up to the tile two posts back. I am delighted by the surface in this piece. Fired to cone 2 for a final firing, and the peachy white/orange specks peaked through. This is more similar to a surface I have seen in reduction-fired pieces, and I am so happy to have accidentally created a similar surface in the electric kiln.

I too like the bask in the evening glow. A fresh wall tile out of the kiln. It’s got copper, it’s got creamy slips, it’s got bits and flecks of clay! Wow it’s been fun to experiment with new textures and glazes.

For Richmond local folks, I’ll have this and more at Potterypalooza on Saturday, September 6th.

Some new tiles from the most recent firing. I’ve been working with layering slips, grogs, and sgraffito as I build these wall pieces.

This kiln also revealed a nice addition to my local clay research - the Southern IN clay I dug this winter should make a lovely earthenware body without any additions!

This is another large format tile - I’m not quite sure what it needs at the moment, so I will sit with it until I see what comes next.
