Fine Mess Pottery: Putting the FUN back in functional!
Hi, I'm Lori Watts, the creative force behind Fine Mess Pottery. I like to make pots that will make your everyday rituals of preparing & eating food a little more joyful. Vibrant colors, cheery patterns, decoration inspired by gardens & wildlife.
My work is soda-fired, which means that when the kiln is nearing its hottest temperature, I spray in a solution of baking soda & soda ash. The heat of the kiln turns these into vapor, which then turns into a glaze on the surface of the pots. This makes the kiln an active participant in the firing, and introduces spontaneity and surprise into the process.
