I now have a wood fire kiln. I received a grant from Create Here in Chattanooga to build a manabigama kiln designed by John Theis and Bill Van Guilder. John came here to help build and with the hard work of some fellow potters we had it finished in 4 days, thank you again. If you have a group interested in wood firing contact me, the kiln can be loaded and fired in 2 days.

We also now have a 36 cubic foot salt kiln designed and built by Roger Harvey. I have always loved salt fired pottery, years ago I was able to be in some salt firings at the University of Miami and those pots are some of my favorites, the colors and orange peel texture produced by a salt kiln really stand out.

I make a wide range of work in stoneware for use in the home. I am always exploring the application of simple ash glazes to enhance the ever evolving forms of my pottery. My work is available at my studio on Lookout Mountain in Georgia.

Thank You
Mark Issenberg
