Wallpaperさんのインスタグラム写真 - (WallpaperInstagram)「Jim McDowell, who calls himself @theblackpotter, has spent much of his 35-year-long career making face jugs, a form introduced by enslaved people of African origin in the US in the 19th century. But it took him until almost two years ago, aged 76, to finally get a gas- and wood-fired kiln of his own, despite a lifetime of pursuing what seems not to have been just a passion for pottery, but a calling. Pictured here are a large pot and sample pieces of glazed pottery after having been test-fired in McDowell’s new kiln, in which wood ash flies around and adds coloration to the pieces.
