These woodfired ceramic pendants were created in 2011, and fired in wood anagama kiln, that usually took about 2,5 - 3 days for firing. The natural colors appeared from the wood ashes and minimum glaze applied to the pendant surfaces. The colors will never be the same, as the natural ash from the wood painted them.
