A piece of sculpture from Tom Barnett.

Here is Tom Barnett's website: http://www.tombarnett.net/
Tom Barnett who has created ceramic works on three continents created this piece in Richmond Park. (He has worked in America, France, England and Japan.) His most recent work was done this October in Basingstoke. His work generally needs clay to be fired at 1200 degrees. The piece for this particular work is an astonishing piece of 'firing'. To see more of tom barnett's ceramic sculture work type 'tombarnett' in the YouTube Search section.
This weekend Aberystwyth is hosting an International Ceramics 'Fair' and Tom Barnett is one of the guest artists and speakers. The piece shown here is the kind of thing that he is going to produce this weekend in Wales.

it looks like some sort of pine apple.? I presume you didnt use your hands for this... how close can one get at such temp's?....

[JackBarnett21]

Of course you cannot go that close when it is 1200 degrees - and all it has to do I think is to attain that temperature and then you stop heating it. - bw JB21
