ARTIST/PIECES: Barry has been making pots at his shop in North Carolina since 1973. He digs and enhances a local clay and also uses other area materials in his glazes and slips. For example granite tailings from drilling my well gives a natural dark green glaze. North Carolina red clay produces a caramel color. Local quarry roadstone gives the French custard glaze. All pots are salt fired to cone 10 which gives a hard durable finish. Salt tends to reveal clay at its rawest and finest.
