Wiseman Ceramics

Essentially, the pieces I have coined as “Glaze Standards” are small vessels/ vases… but they also represent a testament toward progress.

“Red’nd Rainbow”:
Oxidation Firing ^11.5 > Reduction Firing

All of my glazes are produced here in the studio using individual ingredients. They are cultivated through both random and educated trials, and then put through a series of firings. The first test is done on a disposable ceramic dome. If the glaze looks like something worth adding to my palette, then it is applied on 3-4 porcelain vases. The successive, yet separate firings detail whether the glaze is reproducible by comparing them with one another. A successful outcome is deemed a “standard“.

While one vase is kept as a reference, the others are made available for purchase. This provides a chance for those interested to take part in my journey.

Because these cast forms are less labor intensive (all of the other work is wheel thrown and/or hand built), they are offered at a lower price. Having said that, I will add that they are made from molds created under the instruction of the master mold makers at Campbell Pottery (see “Krystallos” in links section). Any glaze standard offered for sale is of excellent quality, and is available with a hand-carved porcelain pedestal.
