Glaze is produced by relying on the wood-firing process as the glazing agent.  Most pieces dedicated to this glaze are placed in the kiln with little or no glaze applied to the exterior.  During the firing process, the wood is occasionally stirred in the firebox to give flight to the flakes of ash produced during the firing.  When these small flakes become airborne, they cling to the exposed areas of the pots and accumulate over a period of time.  As the kiln reaches about 2300 degrees Fahrenheit, the wood ash will liquefy and begin to run down the side of the pots, as if one had poured honey on the vase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopper Penny Glaze\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   The Copper Penny Glaze is influenced by the amount of iron in the clay as well as the formula of the glaze.  The range of color is dependent on the atmosphere of the firing in the kiln.  During the early stages of firing, at 1600° F, we purposely control the furnace to burn inefficiently creating carbon inside the kiln.  The reaction of carbon, over a period of several hours, with the iron in the clay will create warm tones in the glaze and iridescent or opalescent qualities to the surface.  The presence of wood ash coming in contact with the glaze accentuates the glaze with flashes of apple green and yellow tones to deeper brown shades on areas of the pot.  The name copper penny was chosen after many customers, over the years, commented that it looked like the surface of a penny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece is hand-signed by Ben Owen III with the

professional craft of clay by attending classes at the Rockingham Community College and gaining an apprenticeship with Sally Hayes and Noah Carlton.  Bryan learned the basic techniques of wheel-throwing joined with an artistic approach to form and design.  Concentrating his studies on production firing in the electric and gas kilns, Bryan gained essential knowledge that would increase

After years of colleagueship and friendship with Ben III, Bryan is now a full-time studio assistant here at Ben Owen Pottery.  Many of his days are filled with mixing glaze recipes and applying glazes

wares made in the late 1800s were decorated with a cobalt blue glaze over the grey salt finish.  Over the past 50 years, Ben Owen Pottery has made some cobalt-glazed pieces using a uniform coating of the glaze on the surface of the pots.  Today, Ben uses a glaze similar to the older, original glaze.  This newer Cobalt Blue is glossy and reveals a depth to the finish.  Sometimes, the Cobalt Blue is used to accentuate pieces that are fired in the wood kiln.  These are called multi-layered glazes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ben Owen Pottery Tableware
