Allen Littlefield ceramics, "Choices"

More in this Collection

Allen hand-builds each piece individually out of white stoneware clay. The work is then bisque-fired in an electric kiln. The final step in firing involves an ancient technique called pitfiring. This is done outdoors and involves wrapping or positioning each piece with various materials including cardboard and newspaper. After the pitfiring, Allen washes each piece thoroughly and lets it dry before applyng other colors or attaching to backgrounds. Since the work is porous, it is not recommended for outdoor use in climates where temperatures dip near or below freezing.
