"Leaf Shadows: Pit Fired Pottery by Eureka Springs artist Mark Rademacher. The process of pit firing is as old as pottery making itself. In my version, I pack my bisquit fired pots carefully in a pit with sawdust and other wood waste. I set a fire on top and after an initial burn I cover with a sheet of tin and force the combustion into a slow smolder which continues for about 48 hours. The interactions between leaf shapes, patterns, and textures, the subtle color shifts produced by the copper glaze chemistry and the heat and smoke of the pit fire combine to create the defining features of my pottery. These integral processes are wedded to my classical vases and jars to produce one of a kind pieces. "
