"My ceramic technique is fundamental. No frills. I use standard blends available locally. I let the pieces dry for long periods of time since the thicknesses are uneven. I often go back into the surfaces with rasps and knives to sharpen a form and pull out an edge. These pieces are only fired once at low temperature to reduce the amount of shrinkage. Often, I paint the bisque pieces with oil stains to deepen the resonance of the color. " -Larry Pollans
