Rockler Wood Working

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of potters firing with wood, particularly within the last generation. Wood-firing is the process in which wood is used as fuel to fire pottery kilns that have been specifically designed for this purpose. In an age when technology has produced kilns capable of attaining high temperatures in a matter of hours, it is perhaps remarkable that many potters choose to build and fire kilns that are labor intensive and require constant attention throughout the entire period of the firing, which may last several days. For the wood-firers of today, the process represents an entire aesthetic, involving personal choices of both materials and techniques. Some seek the quiet touch of the flame accentuating a glazed surface or giving subtle ash effects on unglazed surfaces. Others combine wood-firing and salt- or soda-glazing to achieve satisfying effects. Yet others want their work simply to look wood-fired, bearing evidence of the long intensity of fire. What wood-firers all have in common is an attraction to the active and creative process of wood-firing. In Wood-fired Ceramics, Coll Minogue and Robert Sanderson briefly describe the development of the main types of wood-fired kilns used by today's potters. They then present the aesthetic aims, working practices, and kilns of an international group of artists. Clay, glaze, and slip recipes, kiln-firing logs, and kiln plans are also included. Work by over sixty artists illustrates the text, and represents the diversity of styles in contemporary wood-fired ceramics.

With more than 130 works made during the past decade, The Fine Art of Wood celebrates a pivotal artistic breakthrough: artists working in wood now claim the same freedom of expression long enjoyed by ceramists and glass artists. Featuring strikingly handsome shapes, unusual finishes, and woods from every corner of the world, these innovative new pieces have been beautifully photographed and reproduced by the Detroit Institute of Arts in conjunction with an upcoming exhibition. The book's intelligent introduction also breaks new ground, tracing the evolution of these works away from traditional crafts and putting them in the aesthetic context of the fine arts by persuasively linking them to such recent movements as Pop art and Minimalism. An extensive catalog section spotlights the visual pleasures of the works themselves, by artists ranging from Ray Allen and Peter Arenskov to Hans Weissflog and Bob Womack.

Have you ever had a front seat on a most enjoyable class act, but we may not have taken the time to appreciate everything about him: where he has spoken, the way in which he relates the tales that have been more than eighty solo exhibitions of his thirty-year career. For the British environmental sculptor and artist Andy Goldsworthy, wood evokes ideas of growth, constant change, and metamorphosis. His work was play and his play was work. In Wood, he works with leaves, bark, branches, ice, boulders, and sand. In addition to 240 black-and-white photographs, color plates illustrate seventeen key works. No artist working today has achieved such painterly results with woodcut, the oldest printmaking medium.
