This is Alice Martin-Kunkle‘s favorite piece from the anagama firing as she was able to lay it on its side so that the wood ash is dripping sideways around the pot. You can also see impressions of shells which were embedded in clay wadding to lift the ware off the shelf during the firing. Newport’s For ArtSake Gallery (Nye Beach) is your best bet for encountering this northwest artist and more of her work in clay and photography.
