They say you can’t bottle the look of an ash glaze without a week-long firing, but River Bed is the illusionist of the shelf, some soft smoke tones, fine speckles, and the ghost of a fire that never happened.
There’s no wood ash, no embers, no frantic stoking at midnight, just a clever formula and a midfire kiln humming along politely. It has a grounded, earthy beauty, like the feeling of stones under shallow water, of something ancient, made easier.
A mix of soft ash, brown and stony tones like rocks on a river bed. It varies depending on application and clay body- from dark brown to warm red brown and sometimes has green khaki hughes.
Perfect for: potters who know the romance of the old ways, and the joy of getting there faster.
