- Kathryn Newsom is taking her pottery to new heights through a unique barrel-firing process. Dubbed 'contemplation pots,' her beautiful artistic pottery passes through the fire before completion, where the smoke creates ethereal scenes that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Thank you! Very informative and a beautiful art!
Wonderful pots ! And great video also, enjoyed
Absolutly beautiful work!!!!
Beautiful pots! Tell me, please, are they usable to hold/store food and/or liquid?
I doubt it, pitfired pieces are generally not food safe, maybe if she added beeswax that might make it partially food safe but thats still not a fail safe for bacteria
Does this do thd sealing ?
Hello! Thanks for sharing your experience! I am in the same process as you: learning and experimenting. I love the results! Very beautiful pieces are obtained. It would be interesting to know how many hours of cooking are inside the barrel. I notice that the barrel has some holes, I imagine they are for some oxygen to enter. Could you make a video or explain in more detail the burning procedure inside the barrel! Thank you!
Just to give you some info, there are several good You Tube videos on how to make a pit fire barrel. They will show you just how to cut the air holes in the bottom of the barrel.
How do keep them from turning all black? Everything I do they still turn out all black
Hello, I am also a pit fire potter and can answer your question. The black comes from the sawdust and wood that the pots are set in. Wherever the pot comes in contact with the burning sawdust/wood, it will impart a blackened area from the burned carbon to the pot. If you would rather not have that much on your pot, try putting some heavy duty (not regular) tin foil loosely scrunch wrapped around your pieces and fire them. You can add your organics and some chemicals (salt, sugar, copper carbonate, copper sulphate, etc) in the tin foil before you wrap your pot, and it will give an assortment of color to the surface.
